 Bear: A surprise visit!

You can watch him on YouTube YOU Tube

It is always a "red letter day" when there is something other than raccoon, squirrels or porcupines 

on my trail camera...seeing fawns, does and an occasional buck is fun..the grey fox is entertaining; but to find a big Black Bear  WOW... Be sure to click on the You Tube link above, and watch him walk through the grove....

Buck Traveling Through

This morning The Eagle was in a tree near our deck. In a wink of an eye, he dove for a fish, dropped it, and kept flying. Away. He did not circle  back for a  do-over.   It's when he swings back to try again that I have time to pick up the camera....

  Earlier, before dawn, on the trail camera; a small parade: This Year's Doe and her fawn, followed by a medium sized buck, with a grey fox bringing up the rear.   During the day the camera captured a squirrel, busily stashing acorns.
This trail camera, when it first "wakes up," takes a still image, followed by a short video.

Deer Scrape November 2014

A young buck..just entering on the left

Two bucks are in the area this week.   Usually "deer season" keeps me out of the woods, but today was just too  too nice, so I donned an old orange hat and red coat. 

An 8 point buck, entering on the left a couple of days later.
