A red maple tree died and began to decay, after some time the dead tree snapped about 10-12 feet from the ground. The upper portion fell to the ground and lay there for several years before I found it. Fallen trees or logs are great places to install a camera trap and this one has been productive of interesting videos ever since.
You can see some of the earlier videos elsewhere on In Forest and Field. Here we have a selection of the latest videos from the fallen maple –
The camera trap at the fallen maple has been slowly failing, perhaps from issues with the batteries, perhaps from problems with the control panel or the internal wiring – we’ll see.
Good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteI hope the camera can be fixed. Wonderful captures of the critters.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the Pileated Woodpeckers , the deer and Black bear.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
I enjoyed all the animals on the trap, but I really liked the Woodpecker. He was huge compared to ours here in the UK.
