Friday, March 30th Cam Discussion

This picture is amazing....love to see some critters right now just to be able see them so clearly....I don't care what kind of critter just anything will do

All of this rain makes me wonder if the pan has ever flooded...It's looking pretty much filled to the brim already!

Questions....

Being new to the cam, this is the first rainy conditions we have encountered. What effect on the animals can we expect. More of them...less of them? Any ones particular we might see because of the rainy conditions?

This image is the best I have seen for night viewing since I started...is it normal?

Thank you....

Hi, wow raining pretty good i see... I have seen it really full, i've seen a little stream start up to the right (our right) of the pan when it gets too full

I think on average it is less active around the hole when it rains like this, animals probably are less active when it rains, not to mention that the storms probably create a lot of little temporary, less dangerous places to drink..but, with all that said, anything can happen, some of the best sightings have been during rainy conditions..I was just looking through last nights pics and some great pics of elephants and rhino's together at the same time

Our group is hoping heavy to see a hippo soon. Just wondering if maybe the rain would bring them out....being a more water-loving creature and all.

Hi all. Still quiet I see. I too am rather new and have been wondering about the rains also. I can see where if water is all over we won't get the visits we are used to but one never knows animals wander.

I suspect that this is as full as the WH can get, because at this point it begins draining at the finger and produces a stream. When the water level reaches that height, the excess will run off down the stream and create a big puddle area down along the ruts of the little roadway.

what are they chasing?

Critters running around -what are they? They are moving too fast!

were those jackals chasing each other or something else? So fast.

sort of like watching little ghosts fly by...

Call me crazy, but the one that passed right in front of the QH looked like an impala...?

Hey all!

Such a rainy night! So relaxing to watch. Where's our rhino's and ellies?

Hi Kara!

The rain has kept everyone away - haven't even heard the hyenas or jackals like we have the past few nights...

did anyone see the animals just run by? there were about 6 of them

Weren't they too small to be an impala? The little ghosts just ran by the back of the WH again.

I thought they looked like jackals. One stopped for a second in front on the right side of the WH. But I'm in no way certain.

Yep..moving really fast!

I only saw two

yep, looked like a dog of some kind

And quiet too. No yipping or whooping to identify them (although I don't think they were hyena, too small).

dang I missed them. Too busy responding to email.

Were they in front or in back of the WH?

they were very very fast.....

ran a couple of times in front of the WH then behind it a little bit later

They were running in front of and then behind the WH. Some ran in front, and some ran behind. There were 2-3 "groups" that came through with a little bit of time in between each.

The first bunch ran from in front of the WH around both sides of it to the back.
Second group ran right to left behind the W.H.

I think the rain may be staarting to let up...Maybe we'll see some action soon!!

Man, that is the best night picture I think I have seen so far!! Thank you camera people.

incredibly clear......and the rain seems to have stopped....
