O.T.: What is it?
 

I don't have a clue. But I got these 2 pics on my trail cam when I picked it up this morning. Initially I though the one was an eyeball looking into the lens but turns out its just a reflection of the sens itself. The second one....hmmmmm.
Now bear in mind this camera is 7' off the ground and angled slightly down. My guess it's either a woodpecker or some kind of bird but or, more likely, a squirrel that happened to go past thinking the cam was part of the tree.

I don't believe there is enough definition to tell what the picture is. About all you can do is guess what it might be. I suspect squirrel is you best guess.

sometimes the animals hear the click of the camera when it takes a pic and come circling around to sniff it. Its really hard to say what it is but the left side looks like a mouth/nose with whiskers.

I normally get hairy necks or ears when they come by my camera that close.

MD - I may have agreed with you because I've had bear and deer do that to me. But in this case the camera was 7+ feet high. So IMO it's either sasquatch or a squirrel. (Or it could possibly be a bird)

Bronko...

Here's my $.02... from the looks of that broad patch of white above the animal's eye, I would say it's a Skunk!!

Never seen a skunk climb a tree before. Especially not 7 foot.

I thought that was an eye at first too Barry but if you look at both pics it is actually a reflection of the lens. Not as evident but still present in the second pic and in the same spot.

I guess you're right Clem... when I looked again it really doesn't appear to be an animals eye. I overlooked the part in your OP that mention's the camera being mounted 7' off the ground so I also doubt it was a Skunk as I had mentioned in my post.

Seven ft off the ground.....11:51PM!

SASQUATCH armpit.

Very tiny flying saucer. No reason space aliens must be large.
