SQUIRREL! The pics came out really blown out, for some reason, probably because the cam isn’t meant to take pics in such a confined space, but they were good enough for us to ID our uninvited tenant, and we now know the times of day he comes and goes, so he’ll be locked out shortly … [https://goo.gl/photos/Syt6JrfGrCpCdEkD9](https://goo.gl/photos/Syt6JrfGrCpCdEkD9) Those last photos I colorized with the ‘heat map’ filter in Picasa. ---

This could get fun… I was wondering if one of those night shots was a coyote. Don’t get too many loose dogs around here, though someone’s gate might have blown open (the Lab in the day pics has his owner with him, he’s just not in the shots). Wish that pic was better. I have adjusted the shutter speed so maybe they will come out a bit better. ---

I have the cheapest, Model# BTC-5HD Strike Force.

It’s a Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Aggressor. There’s just a choice of Low, Medium and High for the Night Vision shutter. The default is Low - should have changed that before putting it in the attic - pics would have been less blown out. ---
