Local surveillance

johngregsite Posted on 1-Apr-2018 by john1-Apr-2018

image M2E1L0-0R336B386We have moved our game camera from the driveway after collecting too many UPS deliveries and minimal wildlife or terrorists. It is now in the back woods about 200 yards directly behind the house. It is surveying the area where anyone traveling between our neighbors on each side of us would take.

This is a snap of one such traveler. Each of our neighbors have chickens and other animals. They thus have alot of feeding going on and food outside in some fashion. This is likely an uninvited guest on his way from food source 1 to food source 2. He /she looks pretty healthy and round.

We have not seen raccoons around our house or much evidence (Murphy probably has another opinion) of same. Our neighbors appear to be more attractive to them.

Bog patrol on the march

image GOPR0034-1 (2)zThis is a snapshot from our previous bog patrol on the beaverbog with the gopro camera. Trying to get videos to run and/or load has been tricky (I am, after all, a motionless camera picture-taker at heart). This image is from last week. Today we found running water along the northwest edge of the bog and on the outlet stream. Water levels are high as the heavy snow pack is melting fast.

There are wildlife tracks periodically along the trail but not alot. I think the slow melt has caused the ground based animals to curtail movement. We are also not seeing many birds yet.

Chickadees are out. A pair of hairy woodpeckers have been having breakfast in the morning on a rotting birch tree behind our house. Do these birds pose for pictures? NOT.

Today while on the snow machine trail, a hawk flew high overhead, too far for a good picture, yelling at us the whole time. I am trying to make these creatures famous and they are not co-operating.
