Saturday's Critters

Bug season hasn't let up. The deerflies are horrid. I use these sticky patches on my hats.




Our resident doe, a frequent visitor, she's covered in deerflies!

Even Fred is annoyed by the deerflies. The durn bugs like the heat, and have terribly painful bites.

We've a young coyote. It visited twice and peed in the same spot. Or two coyotes ran through. hard to say. Booboo bear pooped here. It's a popular travel corridor following the edge of the wetland.

I haven't captured a fisher on the trailcam in a long time.

Yesterday, the latest antics of our two bears. Neither seen near the house, at least in the daytime. They are good bears.  Booboo was back, as well.

Happy Saturday! Hope the deer flies all fly away soon. Aren't they terrible! Awful bites! OK, I haven't had one bite me in quite a while, but the memory is there. Worse than... Anyway, loved seeing all your critters with exception of deer flies.

Hello.
Great videos. Are you ever afraid of bears? They are handsome.

I've never seen a fisher so you have one on me! (I don't know that I've ever actually seen a coyote, either!) Poor deer and Fred. Hoping JB is continuing to improve!

We have bugs here but I've never seen deer flies like that! Shish! Take care!

I hope JB is ok, and that you won't get bitten by flies.

Yikes on the Deerflies! I spent summers in an area like that where the deerflies were awful and nasty. I have no idea how we survived without ways to deter them.

You are pretty busy with all the wildlife around you!
