Finding blood droplets outside of home
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 9:14 am
Hi everyone!
Yes, I am new...but hopefully someone here may be able to answer a question for me that drives me NUTS!
I live in the hills here in by Sespe Condor Sanctuary....and I see all the usual animals, large and small
and I love it! But for a while I see something that I can't figure out. On my walkway which is cement every few days I find blood droplets in the morning.
Let me try my best to describe it. The groups of droplets are about the size of nickels grouped together and the group size varies from three inches to just single droplets. The droplets have no movement to them - if that makes sense; what I mean is that whatever was dripping the blood was stationary while dripping, they are even circles - not as if something was running, being chased or having been swooped down on and flown away while bleeding.
These droplets I find are many times under the edge of the roof and/or under the vines of the wisteria. So it almost makes me think that either the thing dripping blood is sitting on the roof or the vines of the plant while dripping. I can post photos if anyone thinks that might help.
Does anyone have ideas on what this may be? I am not frighted or anything like that, but just curious as to what time of blood-letting is happening outside my backdoor during the evening ha ha ha ha!
I do have a motion night camera....and will try to put it up tonight in the area, but not even sure as to which direction or height to point it since I don't know if this creature is on the ground, or roof or vine.
Thanks!
