Has anyone got a cam with a field of view angle of 60 degrees? All the ones I can find are 42 degrees.

There is a family of barred owls living in my backyard. I've tried to get pics but they never sit long enough. I've seen the parent with 2 young and watched as they hunted birds. They remind me of velocioraptors! On the game cam, there's lots of white squiggly lines which I think are the owls flying through the cam's field of view. Here is one pic of something! I don't want to kill the owls but I worry about my chickens and the koi in my pond. The owls come out every evening just before dark, about a half hour before the chickens go into the coop. My pen is covered and double-fenced so they can't get their talons through. Any ides how to scare owls away?

Cam tilted - sorry not the best pic.

Good luck!

My elder sister hunts gophers with her bow and arrow. (The chickens will eat the remains!) 

Just ordered a ltl acorn. I can't wait for it to arrive, but they're on back order as the manufacturer is making adjustments to the seal to avoid waterlogging. I'm gonna go nuts while waiting!

I think those lines are from insects, the shutter speed is different with the trail cams at night and the bugs flying by are photoed like this, i think some folks think they are called rods but i still think they are just insects

Can you tell what this is?  I can say 100% for sure me and the family and our dogs were accounted for when this pic was taken, two were in their pens, one was in the house.  The neighbor walks his dogs on a leash because we have chickens and he has bees.  If he does not want me to spray every bee I see with bug spray, he keeps his dogs on a leash so they don't eat my chickens.  So I know this is not a dog.  Without leading anyone in this direction, game and fish took a print from a nearby pond and it turned out to be a black bear.  All of our chickens are accounted for and I count them every day about 1\2 free range, but they stay away from the part of the property that the game cam is.  So far we have not had any problems with predators, our chickens have been raised around our dogs so they stay close to their pen area, and the dogs make enough noise when something unwelcome comes into the yard.   But since we did get this pic right on the heels of the bear report it got me thinking. I just can't say what this is since it is so blurry.  It looks like something got close to check out the funny box on the tree.  Any ideas?

hahahahahahahahaha. to me it looks like someone was trying to swallow the cam
