November Animal Activity in an Orchard

What animals frequent a Granny Smith apple orchard in November? Some apples are still on trees but those that fall attract a variety of critters, especially at night. The following photos were gleaned from 4,709 taken automatically by a trail camera. Most deleted photos were of rabbits, squirrels and many thousand female deer images. No male deer were photographed in daylight.
