I found another pellet the next day and looked at it. Obviously, the owl had been getting the meadow voles that Annabelle keeps finding. She left this one on the sidewalk. I think the raccoons ate it that night. The vole teeth are quite distinct.
They like their selfies!
Down the hill, beyond the meadow, we put out the turkey carcass. I left the box, as the coyotes like to play, and I wasn't sure what else to do with it. It was a juicy turkey!
Off I went, Dec. 27th, to check the trailcams. Hooligans! I love them!
It was our ubiquitous raccoons who scored. It was drama as they dragged pieces of the carcass around.
I hope you've flipped through the raccoons, I know hubby likes their antics. Next up, the red fox, surprised by the trailcam.
Then, to my surprise, the barred owl. Remember the owl pellet and mute (the white stuff). I was amazed. There were a couple more photos, but they were blurred. I'd put both trailcams on the spot to catch the action.
The next day, all 4 of our rescue raccoons, the fox, again, and a coyote.
I moved the 2nd trailcam back to the pumpkins. Everyone quite likes them.
NEXT DAY, a fisher.

Wow, what a trail cam picture haul that was! You have a very rich fauna habitat there in cottage country! Your hospitality has made it a 'happening place' for sure. The barred owl was a wonderful bonus! Well done!
It's great to have so much wildlife right at hand. I have never seen a Fisher and I am sure it is exciting for you to know that you have one visiting your property. A Barred Owl is always a welcomed guest.
You do catch a lot with that trailcam. I had a good look today. I don't always. :)
Hello
I hope you are well. You do see awesome critters there. Looks like a fun time. Enjoy your day and week ahead. Thanks for visiting my blog this past year! Happy New Year, I wish you all the best in 2020!
The forest never sleeps. Love the owl there with every other animal, how they manage to frolic round and no fights, then the family fun. Did I say, I LOVE my calendar so much, waiting till tomorrow to hang it up. We have sunshine this morning, and slowly I am learning new things with the Mac.
What a great assortment of creatures that you get!
Nice that you are outdoors a lot!
...Jenn, I hope that you and your family and all your wild critters have a wonderful 2020.
The fisher is a great catch.
The deer are a delight.
