A Walk on the Wild Side


Week 1... 2015
I 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....


There's a busy little grey squirrel on that fallen log...
(the subject of half of the photos in the camera this week)


And you can see the glowing eyes of a doe left of center in the next photo...
(there were several photos of deer crossing at this area).
Note to self....move camera!


The most noteworthy was this busy (big) raccoon,
who made several appearances throughout the week.




It is in this area that I frequently hear owls.
I am wondering if I might capture an owl in flight at night if I point one of the cameras upward.
I might have to try that.

The second camera sat at the top of a hill...
down in the lower portion of our yard.
This young deer spent a little time hanging out here on New Year's Day....
isn't she lovely?




The next day....
"I smell deer here!" says Annie.
