Trailcam Critters: buck, coyote, bear

 Firstly, out the front window... The grounds crew were here. They are munching on weeds, grass, and dead branches, filling their bellies for the long winter ahead. We don't see them as much in the summer, other than on the trailcams, where they are frequent fliers. It was 3 C. in the morning.

I believe this is a pair of twins, the one in the foreground has little antler buds. Can you see the one on the left? It's behind the Christmas tree. 



10/18/21 The buck was munching on plants at trailcam #3.

   

 Trailcam #2 is supposed to be checking out who is living in this little den. Mostly, I'm finding bigger critters!

 
 

Trailcam #2 – I'm glad I put this trailcam here. Bear did a selfie. I haven't seen a bear since Aug. 15th.  


Now, sometimes my brain defeats me at my purpose. I was down at the trailcams, exchanging the SD cards. Normally, I put the new cards in my right pockets, and carefully put the ones harvested into my left pocket. I must have had a brain f@rt. When I went back to them, I realized that the video above wasn't all I had captured of the bears. I put together several clips, from trailcan #3.

 You can hear them snuffling the camera. The last one knocked the camera askew. I should have thought about it at the time! I captured them coming and going.


 

 We had a Momma bear with triplets in August (see below), but they were smaller, so it has to be a different Momma.


Thanks, Eileen for hosting: Saturday's Critters # 411.

  3. We back onto McNeely with a school and the daycare centre opposite. This morning, there was a poor, little, lost fawn over there. Hopefully, it found it's way to woods without getting run over.

    That first bear looked across and wondered, "What the Great Bear is that thing?" and checked it out.

    That could very well be the same mama bear; rare for all three to survive. Two remain and have grown in those two months... YAM xx

  11. I hope your trailcam is fastened on very tightly, Nothing like a selfie or two, complete with fogging the lens and the snuffling!!!
