While I Was Gone

If you’re a regular visitor to In Forest and Field you know I was hospitalized for all but a few days of the month of May. All the time I was in the hospital three camera traps on the hill above the house continued capturing the comings and goings of some of the wildlife that inhabits the hillside.

Here are the videos taken during May and June by those camera traps. Videos from each of the three cameras are grouped separately. There's an abundance of videos of white-tail fawns as well as some videos of bucks growing their new antlers.

Last, but far from least, is a video, taken on June 24, of a cinnamon-colored black bear; this is the only video I’ve ever gotten of a bear of that color. Cinnamon-colored black bears are uncommon to rare in Pennsylvania but are much more common in some western states.


Hopefully you’ll enjoy this video –


The camera traps on the hill have often gotten videos of both red and gray fox, but during these two months there was only one appearance by each of the two species.

  7. First time here...oh my, I hope that cinnamon bear doesn't decide to swim across the Delaware to southern NJ. What part of PA are you in? I used to live in western Pa an hour from Pittsburgh. I live near Philly now, only 20 minutes from the Bridge.
