Night-time Wildlife Report [Eugene, Oregon, August 2024]
August 2024 night-time trail camera captures of animals on my property in Eugene, Oregon's Blanton Ridge area. The most reliably active area is under a long fence where the ground has been dug out to allow smaller mammals to cross under.
This month's new arrival is a wood rat. But if rats aren't your thing, the skunks, raccoons, and deer have young ones.

AI Altered Content:
The Bushnell Trail Cameras have an 18 or 20 fps frame rate (my 2 Bushnell cameras have different firmware). I use Topaz Video AI to turn these clips into 24 fps, a standard frame rate and the minimum for CZcams. Topaz Video AI is not that great at creating in-between video frames when there is fast motion.
The cameras I use:
Bushnell Core DS-4K No Glow Trail Camera
Ring Floodlight Cam 720p
Ring Floodlight Cam 1080p

On a remote stretch of OR-205 between Burns and the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, a lone tree stands off the highway. For years it has housed a Ferruginous Hawk nest. This year four chicks share the open-top nest. A previous winter storm broke the top of the tree but it is the only tree for miles around and it is still favored by these hawks.

Exchanging Wood Steps for Stone
zhlédnutí 89Před 5 měsíci
Last winter was arriving so I initially built a quick-ish wooden step staircase meant to be temporary until I had more time to put in the stone steps. Now that it is drying out, it's time to replace the steps. This video chronicles the swap-out of one wooden step with one stone step.

Howdy from the Seven Devils area near Charleston! Really enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing!
A friend of mine has a house on Blanton, near the Loraine hwy. I used to live right behind the friendly street market on Monroe and the amount of wildlife that came down the hill was amazing. I now live out in Danebo, and I see all kinds of animals and birds out here as well. I even saw a pair of beavers in the Amazon creek.
Dave, does it bother you at all to have a black bear wandering around in your backyard?
Not really. I have those door handles that let you pull down on them to open the door and I make sure they're locked at night. I think the real problem is when people leave their bird feeders, trash, or garden/yard waste outside and the bears find them and become accustomed to finding food at your property. Then they're around much more often.
wonderful videos. we live in Beaverton.
howdy neighbor! as a fellow blanton ridge area dweller i really enjoy your monthly updates ;) we've had some bobcat and bear shenanigans around our place lately.... RIP a couple of our chickens and an ever increasing number of bird feeders ..
One of my Favorite videos of the Steller’s Jays! 😍😃👌
Greetings from Springfield, thanks for the great vid 😃
I live in Eugene, off of Hiway 99. Love your last name, sounds tasty. Thanks for putting these videos out.
I live nearby and so enjoy your video❤
Great-looking video. A friend and I were there in late October one year, paddling kayaks from the bank of the lake at Trapper Creek. The kokanee were gathering there in large numbers and about a dozen bald eagles were soaring around or perched in trees, keeping a close eye on them. If one made the mistake of rising up to within about a foot of the surface, an eagle would dive and come up with a fat fish. It was such a fascinating spectacle, we spent more time watching them, than paddling. We did not see any mergansers on that trip. It's amazing how they can swallow such fish and still remain mobile. I don't imagine they would have to eat anything else for a couple of days.
David, I live in the south hills just off of Hillyard. Lots of deer, squirrel, opossum, turkeys etc. Many are friendly and come up to use within inches. Not scared at all. Glad to see your videos! Thanks so much!
Guard cat on the job. 👍🏼
Cool! That cougar was pretty impressive.
I want to buy a house near yours! This is AWESOME! Also.... I suspect that squirrel was probably someone's pet.
I didn't know we had a flying squirrel!!!!
Was that a 'big cat's,there at the begining?Thank you for posting,the critters are adorable!
That's a neighbor's black cat
So great to watch. Thanks for sharing!
That was great, the bat footage was my favorite!
Love this! I have the same deal and actually added a 2nd suet feeder. I adore these little birds ❤
Well, that was fun. I love how their little eyes look like headlights in the dark.
This is the best!! Hello neighbor👏👏👏
This made me smile
Love this and thanks for sharing
Hooray for skunks! We have a striped skunk that appeared on our property (up the McKenzie) about a month ago and has been hard at work evicting the yellowjackets in our front pasture. We keep finding the carnage the next day. We hope Pepe le Pew sticks around for awhile.
I think a bear did your yellow jacket nest. Just wait till a lion shows up.
Holy crap I live in west Eugene and never knew we had flying squirrels!
just this year we have trail cam of black bear, mountain lion, elk and bobcat just outside of Eugene in Springfield
very cool, thanks for sharing! footage of the bear is awesome.
Thanks for sharing!
Flying squirrels in our neighborhood! I love it❤ From someone near Morse Farm Park.
I love that part of the state. Thank you for the great video!!
Mean person
So cool!
Nice! We ended up driving out to the Lowell covered bridge and got a good show out there. Thanks for sharing !
That was on our short list of places too
I love your comments! Very cool.
Amazing! Thank you!
Happy to see you posting new Eugene wildlife content!!
I miss Eugene Oregon. I lived there for 5 years, about four years ago. It is such a pretty part of the country. I'm glad to see the critters still run free!
Pretty cool Prowlers
They are DESTRUCTIVE.
That was great! Thanks for sharing.
Very cool! Was that skunk chasing the gray fox?
Yes it was! I did not expect that.
Awesome!
You are going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger by the end of your project.
I hope not! He’s 16 years older than I
This is very special, indeed.
Nobody is on their i-phones, no social media. What has happened to us.
Bushtits are such a special little bird. Cute as could be an very friendly. They hit my suet 5 times this morning. Not much left. Better put out a new one 😅
we're about a mile out lorane past blanton, theres been multiple bear shenanigans at our place recently, including some bird feeder casualties
When Squirrel poo next Day, her Eyes full of Tears, because Anus is burning, haha
Why don't you just feed the squirrel's and the birds?
We do. However if I don't hold off a feeder for the birds, they won't get any food. Squirrels are that aggressive.
