Backyard Critter Cam Captures Nocturnal Visitors: Photos Of The Day

SAN LEANDRO, CA — Miyo Burnett has long wondered about nighttime visitors to her backyard, especially on mornings when she finds sprinklers, balls and flower pots rearranged. Her family gave her a critter cam as a holiday gift. Shortly before midnight on Thursday, a skunk dropped by for a visit, followed a few hours later by a raccoon. The final photo shows her peaceful deck after the sun rose.

Thank you for submitting your photos, Miyo!
