<\/p>\n<\/p>For a few years, I thought about getting a \u201ccamera trap\u201d for the cabin to see what kind of wildlife is around there.\u00a0 I finally bought one about a month ago, but couldn\u2019t get it to work on our last trip to the cabin.\u00a0 I\u2019m kind of glad because I got it to work last week here at home and I can\u2019t believe all of the birds that it has captured!\n
