I just realized that we have 6 camera trap related threads spread across 4 totally different areas of the forum, but as far as I can tell we don't have a good thread specifically for images for reference. So my thinking here is that this thread can serve that purpose- a catalog of INTERESTING game cam photos. Obviously this is an open forum, and not mine, but here's what I suggest for "rules:"

1. No blobsquatches. If you have a mystery camera trap photo please start it's own thread so we can dissect it and discuss it without crowding this thread.
2. No "here is my nice photo of a deer I got in my backyard." Post those in one of the random photo threads unless it adds something inherently interesting to our knowledge base on camera traps. For example "here is my photo of a deer, that spec in the upper right corner, that is 865 yards away but still tripped the camera."

What I'd like to see this thread used for are things like:
-here's a deer with two different colored eyeshines
-here's a bat in flight
-here's evidence that a Gametracker 251 can be tripped from >100 feet
-here's evidence that wolverines can be captured on camera traps and also that they do live in Central Park
-here's a test of how far a flash can reach on a .....
-any creative and helpful way you can think (or suggest) to test a camera trap
-or "hey, has anyone ever seen a camera trap photo of a catamount carrying a dead rabbit?"
-and maybe some fun things like "here's the first ever camera trap photo of the elusive teal-speckled short-crested northern Javanese catfish, previously thought to be extinct for over 100,000,000 years."

So without further ado here's my first contribution and a question/request.

This isn't actually a camera trap photo so I'm breaking the rules straight off, but since we discuss eyeshine in camera traps so often I wanted to show this as something to think about in terms of the brightness and size of eyeshine not necessarily being a strict function of distance from the camera. Also equality and balance between eyes.

And my request is: has anyone ever seen a camera trap photo of a bird (or bat) IN FLIGHT and not coming from a perch or feeder- about to land would satisfy me. I'm basically wondering if most traps are quick enough, even if something is flying directly at the camera. I found this of an owl leaving it's nest, so something like this wouldn't 'count' for what I'm looking for even if it is a cool photo.
