I wrote, yesterday, about seeing the deer scrape, indicating it is rutting season. Time to make babies!deer from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
The fisher went by at full speed.Fisher Oct. 30 from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
I captured just the head of the barred owl in the night. I suppose it is evidence of activity, but so disappointing.

Happily, Friday morning, Joseph Brian hustled back to the house from his morning walkabout. "Come!" he said. "Bring your camera!" I threw my coat on top of jammies and housecoat, grabbed the camera and the video camera.
He explained that he'd gone down the path, where I'd cut back fallen branches, and used the lawn tractor.
It leads down to the wetland.
This is the spot where he'd found the wee antler last week. This is from last January or February. In winter they shed their antlers, after rutting season is over.

There is was. It looked at me and looked at him. It's head was turned right around, as it was actually facing the other way.
Great critters, Jenn!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the deer and the Barred Owl.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thanks for leaving me a comment.
I'm not sure I've ever heard of a fisher, must less see one. Learning something new every day!
ReplyDeleteNo sign of our fisher for awhile. We have lots of raccoons and cats wandering in front of the neighbourhood trail cameras though.
ReplyDeleteI hear the owls, and know where their nest tree is but can never get a good look at them sitting still. Occasionally I will see them in mid flight.
Your deer are beautiful. I always said they know where to hang out safely in hunting season. That's the ONLY time we see them in our yard.
Amazing the owl facing one way (aka it's tail showing) and looking directly behind him! Glad you could capture him with handheld camera!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the Barred Owl. Wow.
ReplyDeleteLove your masthead photo of the silhouetted pines. I've seen a fisher here. Cute little round ears. I've never seen a barred owl in person so appreciate seeing them in blogs. Looking forward to seeing critter tracks in the snow. My trail cameras were just not dependable.
ReplyDeleteThat owl is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at the term “rutting season.”
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing that the owl could do that. It’s certainly like having eyes on the back of its head.
How wonderful to see and capture the Barred Owl.
ReplyDeleteGood eye JB. we don't see owls vey often.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful sight to see the barred owl! Thank you so much for sharing it, as well as all the other wonderful animals you have on your property. Always a pleasure to visit.
ReplyDeleteAmazing critters! I love the deer and the Barred Owl the most.
