I decided to try setting up the Narrative Clip* as a "wildlife camera" in the yard by taping it inside a plexiglass card box and putting it out in the yard with some bread scraps in front of it.  It worked, to the extent that I got some ok very close up squirrel #photography .

Obviously, it probably would have done better being tilted slightly upward, but not bad for a first experiment.  I'll have to think about how and where I might get bird photos, since those are more appealing than squirrel closeups, but they may also linger for shorter periods, meaning less likely to get a good picture.

*The Narrative clip is a small clip camera that takes a photo automatically every 30 seconds.  See my previous post about it.
