Here are some clips of the most unusual animals we've captured on (digital) film. Usually we see elk, deer, bears, bobcats, raccoons, coyotes, rabbits, owls and frogs. All of the animals in this compilation have barely been seen in the 5 years we've had trail cameras. Some have only been seen once or twice. I don't know what all the bird species are nor do I know what all the weasel and other small mammals are, but maybe you do.
Crazy wild animal life caught on camera in our yard and the area around our home. Click on any video in the lower right corner to go full-screen or click the youtube name to watch it on youtube. Click any pic to make it larger.

Bears Visit 3 Times in a Day
This is a very condensed time-lapse vid of 3 different visits all on the same day by a group of bears. Lots of playing and wrestling. What you can't tell from this vid (but we can from others) is that it's not the same bears each time. There is a huge Mama Bear during the first and third visit that isn't part of the second visit. But I can't tell if the younger bear from the first is one of the bears during the other visits. Also, during the last visit, there are actually 3 bears together. So, these visits represent somewhere between 3 and 7 bears.
If you catch it, that's me on the court at 2pm - just 10 mins before the bears' second visit.

Bear Spa Day
This mom and older cub share a serene moment during an ursine spa day. Nice that there are enough tubs to go around. It also seems like the sun is bouncing off a spider web in front of the camera creating that ray effect. Cool.

Owl Battle (for a moment)
A pair of owls sharing a bath could have been a nice scene. But one of them was completely awful and jumped on the other's head when she was washing her face. Rude!
