- A Walk On The Wild Side
Week 1... 2015I moved the trail cams closer to the house last week. Out through the woodpile trail... into the friendly forest... so close to a deer trail, but not close enough.You can see a doe and her youngsters out in the trees, left of center.......

A Walk On The Wild Side 2015.... Week 3
Yesterday was perfect.
Perfect sunrise...
Perfect blue sky over our little valley...
Perfect walk with the dogs.
Perfect.
I, however, am far from perfect.
I forgot to turn on the camera that overlooks the deer bait.
Camera one....zero, zilch, nada.
(Sorry....I'll do better this coming week!)
There was evidence of nibbling on the bait and the dogs spent a good solid
minute peeing all over the area trying to cover up the scent of something...
so...
next week should be productive.
Down to the creek we went to check the second camera.
Yes!
I had turned that camera on.
It seems this spot is the local watering hole....
for fox...
squirrels (lots and lots of squirrels!)
raccoon...
dark, raccoon-like creature of unknown species...
and several deer...
This particular deer looks as though he has an old wound on his shoulder...
(worrisome...how can I protect all of our wild creatures?)
I love this creek.
It is absolutely beautiful in every season of the year.
And it is obviously important to the local animal population as well!
