This Hidden Camera In A Backyard Captures So Many Different Animals Sharing A Water Fountain
Backyard cameras usually catch the usual suspects, birds, squirrels, maybe the occasional stray cat. Jennifer George’s garden in Vista, California, turned into something much busier than that, with a steady stream of wild visitors showing up to share the space.
After noticing how many animals passed through, George set up a camera and later added a water fountain so they could drink and rest. The setup quickly became a small wildlife hangout, and the photos she shared online show just how many different creatures stopped by.
It only got more interesting once the fountain became the neighborhood hotspot.
Like this raccoon!
A rabbit... AND a bird
George told The Dodo:
“It started with just a metal bowl of water. We thought that would be a harmless way to attract them in front of the camera. That brought in birds at first - mostly scrub jays.
Then other animals started showing up, and I wanted to improve the accommodations for them, so I bought a bigger bowl and a solar fountain.”
That simple upgrade changed everything.
That bobcat and hawk chaos feels similar to the woman who left her door open and came back to three deer inside.
Here's a visiting bobcat playfully swatting the camera!
Even this hawk had a splash about!

It turned into a full-on wildlife meetup.
