I visit a deer webcam and caught this the other night. Don't know what to make of it.

There is corn in the box, they fill the bin overhead and it releases corn every so often. The webcam is sponsored by Chevrolet.

A spider web on or near the camera blowing in the breeze.

Bit of fluff or pollen stuck on a strand of spider web drifting in a slight breeze, too close to the camera for it to focus.

... very close to the camera, so it's out of focus.

Is that a chipper?

(38,167 posts)7. Thanks! I would never have guessed that.
It looks like a giant chipper to me. I thought it was full of chopped up trees/branches & the critters were checking it out.

Looks like a ghost.

(62,444 posts)11. Deer can't see ghosts, but a camera can?
Obviously, the deer that walks into the foreground is not at all bothered by the presence of something moving around, so it's most likely a camera/lighting artifact of some kind, and we know utterly nothing about the physical arrangement of the camera and the lights. It also obviously an IR lighting arrangement of some kind, since the animals are casting shadows - so it's not passive IR.
