Driveway Nightlife

We've had some interesting nighttime visitors in recent weeks.  For a while we have noticed coyotes making their way across our driveway at night.  This seems to happen once or twice a week.  Note that this is within 20 feet of the house.



Obviously, I have the date set wrong on this camera.  It is not 2018 and this did not occur in the future!  Ha!

Then, a couple of nights ago, we had these pictures.





This guy seems to have decided to just hang out on the driveway for a few minutes before moving on.  We've never had any trouble from coyotes and rarely see them except occasionally on the wildlife camera.  But, they have been visiting more frequently lately.  Maybe it is the time of year.

There are other nighttime visitors.  For example, this critter.


I am really baffled by this thing.  It is not the right shape or size for a coyote.  It is more cat-like in appearance, but it seems much too large for a regular house cat.  Could it be a bobcat?  

Finally, there are the neighborhood deer.  We frequently see them in late afternoon or early evening.  We see them coming.




And going.


Looks as if they are getting their exercise on this particular evening.
