Coyote in the Woods

A rainy morning...
According to the video camera two pregnant does in the area were very uneasy during the night.
The cause is made obvious by this video..Apparently the coyote is hanging around the area as well.

Here is a video of the doe. She is using her sense of smell...and the fawn is kicking up a storm...

Two visitors Before Dawn May 23rd

The Doe came through around 1 am, and the Coyote passed by around 6:30 am, in the rain. He's hard to spot..in the upper left corner of the screen....

The Curious Yearling

Because of snow in the woods, and vacation, I didn't put the camera out until early May.
This is the first video clip: A doe at the salt block and her yearling....
There are about 5 other deer in the area including a very pregnant doe...in another month or so we should be seeing the new fawn...

Pieris japonica and Shadblow

 The Shadblow growing near my house has not bloomed for over 15 years...so you can imagine how delighted I was to find it covered with blossoms!

What changed? A mature Hemlock growing nearby blew down in an October Storm two years ago.

The Pieris japonica is also loaded with blooms.

Happy Spring!
