Checked the camera traps behind the house a
couple of days ago. There were photographs of the white-tailed deer that have
been hanging around the house feeding on apples fallen from the apple tree and
plants in the garden.
The fawns are accompanying the does now;
earlier the fawns were hidden in thicker cover. The young ones have been
nibbling on plants that the adults normally won’t eat –
And a young buck has been hanging around with them –
Our neighbor the gray fox has been coming
by almost every night –
As has the raccoon that inspects the
compost pile for edibles –
The most interesting photo was of the black
bear that also passed by –
It’s not unusual to get a photograph of a
bear out back once or twice in spring or fall, but this was the first time the
camera traps have photographed a black bear here in the summer. A few moments
later another camera trap took a photo of the bear's back as it was heading towards the
neighbors’ place. We’ve not told them of any visits by a bear; they’re afraid of
bears and it would only frighten them more if they knew that bears occasionally
visited in the night.
Wow, what an amazing collection of photos from one location! The deer are beautiful and the bear is just amazing - very lucky.
ReplyDeleteWonderful visitors all of them! I love the bear. Let's hope your neighbours don't read your blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello, your camera is catching some great animals and photos. The deer are so sweet and pretty. I love the fox and the bear. I have problems with the raccoons here, I think I would rather see the bear. Great post. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteAwesome wild life photos. I especially like all the deer in the 3rd photo from top.
