The month started with some really lovely summer weather. The deer are appearing; some looking better than others. There’s still one speckled fawn — but there isn’t a decent picture of him/her. The coyotes are still around. Nothing of them on the driveway this month. But they made the other two cameras. Only one bear sighting. I’m […]

What’s in the Woods in August
It’s been a hot, dry August. And the creatures are very active in the woods. The coyotes are sticking to the path at the bottom of the pasture. Oops, that’s not a coyote. Ollie on the move. The deer have been scarce. This is one of the few pictures I’ve gotten. She looks well […]
What We Saw in the Woods in July
First up we have the bear. He’s been seen a lot lately — including destroying some of the neighbor’s bird feeders. In this picture I can’t be entirely sure that it’s our bear and not a smaller one. The scale is hard to judge. Next we have a couple of the coyote. Singles only this time. Not […]
What the Cameras are Seeing in the Late Spring
We moved that cameras back in early May and are now seeing different things. Lots of predators wandering around the forest. One camera is located at the end of what we call the forest road, the wide path that runs parallel to the property line in the woods. The other is on a small trail […]
Wildlife on the Farm — April 2017
The first real month of spring — as evidenced by the visitor in our first picture. The robins are back and hopping around the pasture looking for worms. This fellow was looking to land on the fence post that the camera is mounted on. And they coyotes are showing themselves regularly both at night and during the […]
Fooling Around with a New Camera
We’ve got a new camera on the farm and I’m working out the kinks in my fingers — they still remember the old camera… Today I took some pictures around the farm.
More from the Game Cameras — March
Not so much on the cameras this month. The deer are walking around in groups again. Three mostly. I haven’t seen any sign of the buck or his antlers since December. I was hoping to get the antlers for the dog to chew on. The predators have been out at night. Coyotes both on the […]
Game Cameras — Jan and Feb
We were gone for a lot of the months of January and February but the wildlife goes on. There is this little rabbit. Nibbling on a bit of brown grass. This bobcat is looking for the rabbits. The deer are still here though not very much in evidence in the last two months. We had […]
Doings on the Farm in December
I seems like it snowed a lot in December though part of that is that it has also snowed at the beginning of the year. Early in the December we had a decent amount of snow New sighting. I’m pretty sure that the bird taking off (landing?) on the post that the camera is on […]
Game Cameras November
Only a few pictures this month. Of note, the bear that should be asleep this time of year was up and moving around the property at the beginning of the month. The bob cat also visited. We have him (her?) going up and down the drive way on Oct 31st and then in the septic […]
