Okay, the #nocturnal #Ottawa #critter results for 2024 are final.

Rabbit, working hard all month, took the win with 168 visits edging out the late slumping and very fat raccoon at 165. Very close and the only critters with over 100 night time visits.

To add insult to injury, raccoon also lost a 15 minute fight with the green bin filled with turkey bones the other night.

Other notables:
A very consistent showing by skunk which is unusual as it seems to hate the cold and is more of a spring / summer critter.

Fox put on a late kick to get to double digits.

A record showing by coyote who I am assume will move from a very rare visitor to a rare visitor.

Three mystery animals. One was an otter and I don't expect them again, so perhaps this category should be more like unusual. The other two were flying but I could not pin them down into the right flying category (which are currently, bat, owl and nighthawk). I expect they were what I am calling nighthawks.

If I lump all the night flyers together, they would push fox out of fifth position.
