Mother Daughter Day Out

Quick Kiss

Did you hear what I heard?

I'll go check it out….

Great Blue Heron up a Tree

This is a new one for me: A Great Blue Heron in the top of a Pine Tree!

Bearly a Visit

The trail camera didn't "wake up" fast enough; it caught the tail end of this young bear…

Young Bear Traveling Through the Grove.
Two of the three Ash trees have died; the large one on the right doesn't have any leaves on it at all this year. Branches fall off during every storm. I will need to search the area for a safer place to locate the camera, but I hesitate to do so because this spot appears to be along a  main wildlife travel route.  There is a video of this fellow, but he is only on for 3 seconds of a 25 second clip..and he's walking away…

Our neighbor's black Lab walked with me this morning. He had lots to sniff out…raccoon, porcupine, Young Fawn, Mother Doe, and Black Bear. 

Fawn out of Hiding

A welcome sight on my trail camera!

For many years the thick grove of Hemlocks  surrounding the grove of older Ash provided a safe sanctuary for new-born fawns. Evident in this photo is how rapidly the Hemlock trees are dying.
