Trail Cam Photos Of Backyard Critters

SAN LEANDRO, CA — One of Miyo Burnett's favorite Christmas gifts from last year is a trail cam that is set up in her San Leandro backyard. (Could this be a hint for someone on your gift list?) In late October and November, she had an opossum, raccoon, skunk and various neighborhood cats drop by, mainly for a drink from her birdbath. The raccoon couldn't resist picking up the golf ball that Miyo keeps there as a perch for small birds.
