We had some early morning visitors today. About four o’clock in the morning our cat got very stressed and ran around the bedroom, trying to look out the windows. I tried to look out myself and saw that we had four badgers looking for something to eat. I ran upstairs to get my camera, and managed to snap a few pictures and a little video. This was very early in the morning and I had to use 12800 ISO to get decent photos. The pictures have some ISO noise, but I thought they were interesting anyway.

I have also added a short video of two young badgers sniffing around. If your browser supports this format you may start the video by right-clicking on the video and select play:

Just saw this photo. Very interesting photos. We don’t have badgers here in Washington state; the closest animal here would be raccoons — which make their rounds most nights in the neighborhood, looking for something to eat.
And that would be a novelty for me 🙂
