evidence in black and white


The last week or so, there's been a mystery in our back yard - a smallish, but rapidly enlarging, shallow hole.  On close inspection, it seems to be an uncovered ant hill.  What eats ants?  I mean - ant-eaters, but that seems unlikely in semi-urban Los Angeles.  So I set up a trail cam, and after a couple of nights of capturing waving leaves (I couldn't quite get the angle right), the mystery was solved - a very handsome skunk!  There was also a possum that came and sniffed around, much earlier, and a field mouse that wanted nothing to do with it.  Not the best of photos - they are screen shots from videos - but mystery solved ...
