It is very hard to do batch processing on these kinds of photos for various reasons. So many I let slide without extra messing around. Maybe I don’t need 3 cameras going. Bawahahaha
All the critters are still acting weird I am sorta that way too.
And this time we have:
In an effort to get some kind of an evening life back, I am trying to do 3 day batches. This first try WAS NOT A TIME SAVER. The future is hard to predict.
I am also trying to move cameras and stuff & such so me and the cameras are cornfused…
So here we go:
Put my man card in my pocket and got some pictures together.
The fun part was the neighbor caught a bear coming from behind our house and going behind their house. Black Bear which is sorta unusual near us but very common West of I-49. It must of been on a mission because it did not come through the deer feed set up so I could have got a picture of it. Has been very calm in the air moving department and it might not have smelled anything. Had some excitement with Zeus that day but all I saw was a flash of movement and Zeus did not chase it up the hill. I had no idea until the neighbor told me of their bear sighting. Then all Zeus was doing made sense.
So, I will start off with the very short video they got of it.
The bear
Just click on it & it will play.
Then we have Cam # 1 Cam # 1
When I got out of the hospital I had 14,000+ photos on the three cameras combined. I have then culled so I hope to have circles & arrows done by tomorrow night.
One camera maxed the SD card, one the batteries gave up and the big camera had 9,488 pictures on it alone. Prolly have about 100 final pictures on the three cams combined.
Basically 8 days worth. Hope to never have that happen again.
So check back tomorrow night and see if I got it done. Had to stop tonight as I went cross eyed and stupid at 21:54.
I finally got it done. About 14 in #3, about 44 in #2 and about 54 in #1. so, not too many IMO Now I need to download them again before it gets too big again.
[And here is
Well !!! Finally got this batch done. I am making it too hard. I need to do it different someway. Better cameras, no moving shadows, perfect exposures, all that would help a lot. Bawahahahaha 35, 36, 147 pictures this time. I left a lot of stuff unmarked as it would take way to long to go through them. Video’s would be worse. Oh well, who needs a life?
Was sitting on the deck this evening just before dark and this guy came to visit.
I was impressed.

Is that velvet?
He’s beautiful!
We’ve been having aerial combat here, big time.
All those here are mostly still in velvet. A few have started rubbing but they are just silly … I don’t really know when they start right here in this area. More bucks this year than all other years combined.
He came back this evening. I might be wrong in thinking he has a freak rack, really hard to see in the bad light. I hope to have pictures the next time I download that will give us a much better look at him.
Great picture. We finally got more than 3 to hang around. Little ones and big fat ones. Looks funny but they hold their own against the big guys. Our big ones have a lot of shinny green on them. Pretty but I wish they would watch where they are going better than they do. I think I need a full face helmet out there sometimes. 
Ours are so busy fighting with each other they barely notice me. I’ve gotten a face full of hummingbird a couple times - they barely missed me.
I don’t think Hummers think people are anymore than moving stumps and just ignore us for the most part. Also, they are very easy to train to come feed from your hand. Fearless little fighters and fearless in general for such little critters.
You got a great picture there.
I put out another feeder thinking that would reduce the fighting and we just ended up with more birds! Not hard to get pictures of them when they are more concerned about chasing each other than they are about me being there.
I like the way that works out for us. 
He’s something else. And love the giant woodpeckers also!
22 new in Cam 2. 1&3 in a day or so.
Cam # 3 is on hold. Cam # 1 has 59 new pictures.
