Is this a bat? #18827638 10/09/23 Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 69,529 Likes: 24 Filer, ID Rock Chuck OP Campfire Kahuna OP Rock Chuck Campfire Kahuna Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 69,529 Likes: 24 Filer, ID My wife has me using a trail camera to see some stray cats she's feeding. Take a look at the white thing. These 2 shots are as close together in time as the camera allows. It's moving fast whatever it is. The cats seem to ignore it and barely move between shots. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

They are the worst predictors of our wild birds there is! They hunt and kill birds 24x7x365. At least capture them and have them sterilized so they don’t continue to grow in population. Better yet, eliminate em . Rolly
