Build It And They Will Come

Quite a number of years ago (ten maybe?) I got it in my head to clear an east-west trail from one property boundary to the other.  

Twice a year I run the mower in both directions.

And have maintained a trail camera in the very same location all the while.

For probably the last half-dozen years the camera at this location has been selected to operate on video mode.


It takes short, silent, fifteen second video vignettes in daylight and after dark in infrared mode.


It is amazing to me the number of critters that use this man-made trail.

BF Skinner likely had a fancy term for what I have done to shape and condition wildlife behavior.  In lay person terms, if you build it they will come.....
