What's Da Buzz?

It seems that the mystery I had previously reported on a couple weeks ago has taken a twist.

The mystery is us trying to track who has been stealing our dried corn on the cob from in front of us on different nights. At first we suspected crows but the cob is a bit too big and heavy for them. The doves peck at them but are not designed for carrying a cob away. It definitely isn’t any of the smaller birds as the cob of corn is bigger than they are.

Our primary suspects were the chipmunks and not Alvin or Simon but real ones that run around here. They may drag the corn on the cob a short distance but their holes are fairly close. The chipmunks do not seem like the culprit when it comes to taking the corn on the cob all the way to the other side of the building. Those cute little buggers have no reason to. (Baka naman, taong pusa? haha! *joke*)

Now we have learned another detail in this growing mystery. There may be more players in the corn on the cob game. It seems we have spotted a rabbit inviting itself in but they usually eat fresh greens and not dried corn. So that isn’t a prime suspect.

We have recently been informed that sometimes we get visited by deer and raccoons. Both are big enough to carry off a cob of corn. Both are active at night. My bets are on the raccoon though. But how do we confirm all of this? My cameras are not really set up for night vision.

Suggestions?
