Woman Put A Water Fountain With A Camera In Her Yard, Here Are 24 Photos Of Regular Visitors (New Pics)
Jennifer George, a resident of semi-rural San Diego County, has transformed her home into a wildlife sanctuary, drawing a diverse array of animals to her backyard. What began as a simple act of offering water to coyote pups on a scorching day in 2019 has evolved into a captivating hobby, where she installed a solar-powered fountain and a hidden camera to observe and record the visiting fauna.
Jennifer's dedication has allowed her to document a wide variety of animals, from skunks and bobcats to hummingbirds and weasels, providing a unique insight into their behaviors and interactions that otherwise would remain unseen for the most part.

Jennifer's backyard has become somewhat of a bustling oasis (especially over the years she has been doing this) where animals come to drink, play, and sometimes even splash around. Her setup is simple but effective—a solar-powered fountain that keeps the water flowing and a hidden camera capturing all the action. Each morning, she eagerly checks the footage to see which new visitors have stopped by.
One of George's favorite visitors is a family of coyotes (you can also see them in this post) that first inspired her project. She often sees the coyote pups playing near the water, and their playful antics never fail to bring a smile to her face. But it's not just the coyotes that make her backyard special. Jennifer has also spotted all sorts of animals she had never expected to see, like the elusive long-tailed weasel and the colorful western tanager.

The hidden camera has honestly been a game-changer for the fountain owner, allowing her to observe these animals up close without disturbing them. This peek into their secret lives has given her a newfound appreciation for the local wildlife. Jennifer said she's learned about their habits, their interactions, and even their personalities. For example, she’s noticed that the bobcats are surprisingly cautious, while the raccoons are bold and curious.
That being said, Jennifer’s project has also sparked interest in her community (aside from social media like Instagram and TikTok). Neighbors and friends often ask her about the latest visitors, and she shares her favorite clips online. Her videos have captivated many, showing just how diverse and vibrant the local wildlife can be.
That's all brilliant. the best wildlife in my garden was a Grass Snake which flew over in the talons of a Common Buzzard. It didn't seem very happy about it! Yes I too am in Great Britain :-(
These are all such wonderful pictures of beautiful creatures enjoying the water. I'm glad you did this and that it's well used by the locals.
There should be watering stations everywhere for the woodland creatures and homeless pets. Not all have access to water. I have two birdbaths in my back yard, and they get a lot of action. Sometimes the birds just want a cool bath.
I have 5, different sizes and place at different heights and all of them get used, it's so important to help wildlife in whatever small capacity we can

Fascinating. If I were to do that in my back garden there would be a few cats (domestic) and some birds.
Yet still: cats, so what are you waiting for? ^.^
