Dead Batteries and Live Squirrel

As I made my way to the trail cam I could see all kinds of tracks in the snow, including coyote tracks.  I was sure there were going to be some interesting videos but when I opened the camera the dead battery light was on.  I only had 4 videos for over a week of activity!  Apparently the batteries did not like the one below zero night we had and gave up the ghost.  Anyway, I rectified the situation by adding a Moultrie 12 volt camera battery box to the camera.  This is a rechargeable external battery that is supposed to last several months on a charge.  With the battery issue behind me I hope to start getting back to some exciting videos.  In the meantime, enjoy the squirrel in the snow.
