Woman Put A Water Fountain With A Camera In Her Yard, Here Are 24 Photos Of Regular Visitors (New Pics)

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.

"I live in a semi-rural area in San Diego County on a large property, and used to see animals outside in our yard. On a particularly hot day in 2019, I saw a family of coyote pups looking for water," Jennifer explained, when asked what inspired her to start offering water to wildlife in her backyard. "I thought it would be fun to help them out and put out a bowl of water. I didn't want to make them dependent on us for food, so water seemed like a good idea. That's how it all started, and it quickly turned into a hobby that I absolutely love."
