Summary of animals seen so far (through May 2026):

• Mammals: Deer (often), elk (often), moose, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, bobcats, bears, racoons, birds.
• Birds: Mountain chickadee, dusky grouse, hummingbirds.
• Bugs: Some images or videos show flying things, but probably just by accident, not clear they trigger the camera.
• People: Occasional trespassers or invited workers.
• Cars: My own, arriving or departing, or one time, a red Ford SUV trespassing down the driveway and turning around.

2022 summary and statistics:

Second year of selected trailcam photos/videos... Given the huge number and variety already saved in 2021, I got much more selective (how many times is it worth seeing elk browsing?) Even though the trailcam still captured a variety of animals on many different occasions, eventually even a black bear, but still never any moose (until about 2025).

220711-0926: I found 195 triggers (585 pics + videos) on the cabin trailcam when we didn't visit for 2.5 months. This included many, many photos of elk and deer, with these trigger counts and start dates/times:

15 0801.2305 deer (at least 2, including buck)
 2 0808.1550 elk (large herd, at least 11, apparently scared away)
 1 0815.2357 deer (solo buck)
21 0821.0740 elk (scattered, at least 6, long visit until 0828)
 1 0821.1123 elk (3)
 1 0828.0638 deer (1 just running through)
 6 0828.1708 elk (at least 6, bull in distance)
 9 0829.0707 elk (at least 5)
 9 0829.0737 elk (same herd returns?)
 2 0830.0648 deer (2)
 1 0913.0654 deer
 4 0913.0746 elk (6)
21 0916.0729 elk (up to 7, long visit until 0802)
 1 0918.0926 deer (solo buck)
 2 0921.1551 deer (solo)
 3 0925.0731 elk (4)
--
99 out of 195 triggers just for deer or elk on 16 occasions (7 times deer,
9 times elk)

Plus 2 triggers on black bear (2 occasions), 1 fox, 1 rabbit, various birds, and 1 trespassing male human!

I brought home 585 images and videos. After tossing duds (mostly false triggers), I had 302 left. After reviewing and brutally deleting anything "routine", I had 43 files (23 images + 20 videos). And then I winnowed down more while labeling.
