Not sure what part of Texas you're in Neesie...but it's been a little chilly here in north TX for snakes to be out at night...ground hog...or... rats??.....which are everywhere so no one needs to say YUK !!! Would they trip the camera or be slinky enough / low to the ground enough to hid in the grass??

I checked the videos on the camera and the very first was of a cat, sauntering up to the birdbath, for a drink. The bananas were already gone! They were good-sized bananas . . . and THREE of them, so how could something have sneaked up and taken them, without triggering the camera??? Birds aren't large enough to trigger it . . . but there's no way small birds could have carried off three bananas. DH suggested a snake. Now I have this image in my head, of a snake swallowing and slithering off, with three big bananas, in his belly!
Seriously, this is very, very weird!
