In 2022, Danae Wolfe, a 36-year-old wildlife enthusiast, received a bird feeder camera as a gift to review on her TikTok channel. She was excited to set it up in her backyard in Ohio, which she and her family had spent eight years turning into a sanctuary for local creatures. Little did they know, the camera would capture a whole host of hilarious images.
To their surprise, the camera started capturing funny photos and videos on the very first night of installation. They were delighted to see birds visiting during the day, but the real entertainment came at night when a mischievous raccoon paid a visit for a midnight snack. The raccoon was so bold that it even knocked the camera off its mount on a tree, but that didn't stop it from recording all night as more animals like deer and skunks came by for a treat.
Since then, there have been numerous nocturnal visits from various creatures, sometimes accompanied by their families and friends. On one occasion, they even had four raccoons show up, a mother and her three babies. Another time, the camera captured a male and female turkey, which Danae had hoped would become regular visitors, but sadly, they haven't been spotted since.
One night, the camera even caught a flying squirrel snacking in the bird feeder trough, which was a first for Danae's backyard. She was thrilled to see that these common squirrels in the eastern US were also hanging out in their neighborhood. Over the past couple of years, Danae has collected thousands of photos and videos, but there is one that stands out as her personal favorite.
It's a photo of a deer that looks like it's swimming like a fish, thanks to its large eye and eyelashes. Danae finds it to be such a funny perspective of a deer, making it her top pick among all the captured images. If you enjoyed these photos, you may also want to check out the finalists of last year's Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards, which features everything from a kangaroo playing air guitar to a baby monkey asking for a kiss.
Whether it's daytime or nighttime, Danae's backyard is always bustling with wildlife. During the day, it's usually the birds who come to the feeder, but at night, it's a whole different story. The camera has captured so many funny and unexpected moments, making it a great source of entertainment for Danae and her family.
