These are collected photos worth keeping from the new Campark T-80 battery-operated trail camera (not a webcam) that I installed Feb 1, 2021 at Cathie's mountain cabin (10,100' in the north end of South Park, Colorado). (But not posting 5-sec videos I started adding later.)

After initial experimenting, I mostly leave it off while we are there, to avoid many spurious photos/videos -- including, as I quickly learned, hundreds of IR-triggered pictures of the campfire heat! So these are pictures downloaded during each visit, taken between visits.

After a few months of more false than good triggers, I reset the sensitivity setting from the default of medium to low, and that has reduced the triggers a lot. No idea what I'm missing, of course.

Summary of animals seen so far:

• Birds: Mountain chickadee, dusky grouse, hummingbirds.
• Mammals: Deer (multiple times), elk (multiple times), bobcat, coyote (multiple times), fox.
• Bugs: Some images or videos show flying things, but probably just by accident, not clear they trigger the camera.
• Cars: My own, arriving or departing, or one time, a red Ford SUV trespassing down the driveway and turning around.
