What Animals Do in Your Yard While You Sleep



Patrick has a set of stairs leading down to his back door. He also has a Ring camera trained on those stairs. After receiving an alarming number of notifications, he skimmed through the overnight video and found that there's a veritable zoo using his stairs at night when all the humans are asleep. He saw bears, skunks, birds, and cats going up and down. He didn't even know there were bears in his neighborhood. But the revelation cleared up one mystery.

“I had no idea they were using our steps,” says Patrick, “but we noticed every time we took our dog for a walk, she would always take so long on the steps smelling each step. Now we know why.”
