javelina, raccoon, Trail camera

The ponderosa pine tree in our front yard was a busy place last night. The javelina was noisy and woke me up when it ran across the porch. The raccoons were quiet. We have not seen raccoons for in a while.

I’m working on my bird in flight photos. It’s difficult to get the focus right as the bird is moving and the camera is moving to follow the bird. And with a long telephoto lens, the depth of field (distance span that’s in focus) is quite shallow. Here are todays good ones. All shot at Goldwater lake in Prescott, Az
