Except for during late fall hunting seasons, one of my camera traps has been mounted to a tree on the edge of this clearing since 2013. At first it was mounted to a large white pine on the edge of the clearing, for the last 11 years it’s been on a small black cherry where it has a better view of the goings-on in the clearing.
Many videos from the clearing have been posted on In Forest and Field over those years, here are the videos from the last month of winter and the first two months of spring –
This has been an extremely productive site for the camera trap. But it’s never produced a still image or video of either a red fox or a gray fox despite suitable habitat and an adequate prey base – very interesting and inexplicable.

Always enjoy your camera traps!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video compilation. The clearing clearly attracts plenty of wildlife.
