The Brush Pile II



Last May I set a camera trap at a brush pile above the house and posted a selection of photographs from the first month here.
 
Now, more than six months later and before we have much snow on the ground, it’s time to post more of the photos from the brush pile –
Eastern Cottontail

Brown Thrasher

Dark-eyed Junco
Opossum

Meadow Vole

House Wren

Eastern Chipmunk







Carolina Wren

Deer Mouse
White-footed Mouse
Several of the pictures were a bit humorous as squirrels and white-footed mice went through gyrations on the brush pile.

White-footed Mouse

The camera trap has five more months to watch the brush pile; through the depths of winter and the greening of spring. More to come:

  1. Quite a variety of things captured there! I'm surprised by all the birds the camera caught. When we lived in the country outside Guelph, i built some brushpiles on the property so the rabbits would have a fair chance to get away from our dog (after she caught several).
