The camera trap on the rim has produced a
number of very satisfying videos: of bobcats, white-tailed deer and black
bears. Several of those can be seen here
and here.
Oak trees on the edge of the steep
drop-off produced a bumper crop of acorns this year, although the acorns were small
and fell early. Any species of wildlife (blue jays, chipmunks, squirrels, wild
turkeys, white-tailed deer and black bears included) that feeds on acorns has
an abundance of food this fall.
The last check of the camera trap yielded a
few videos of gray squirrels, wild turkeys and white-tailed deer, but the best
of them were of black bears on three different days.
First came a female with two cubs; then, the
next night, a much larger bear; three days later the female and her cubs
were back –
Several days later some wild turkeys came by,
scratching for acorns and a porcupine slowly walked past also eating acorns. The rim has been a great
location for a camera trap.
