Update on our Freds, I noticed a miniFred in the borrow under the shed. We had a chat. I told her to watch out for predators.
Meantime, A/C's Sue had a question. I have a frogpond trailcam. One needs to set up a 'camera trap' on a path that is restricted by, for example, bodies of water. This track has the frogpond on the one side, and the wetland on the other. It's about 100m to the camera, but it is down a hill, through the forest, and well out of sight of the house.
I give you bear!
This is funny. Couldn't the flicker have been fully in frame? I'll have to had a word with it.
Another great place for a camera trap is the driveway. The doe on the driveway didn't seem thrilled with the heavy rain. We've had some spotty storms running through.
The fox has been back, on the driveway, just trotting in. You can see the camera lights on the house.

Hello Jenn,
Lots of wonderful critters at your place.
The bear and deer are favorites, love the fox too.
I have never seen a porcupine in the wild.
Thank you for linking up your your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for taking time to leave me a comment.
You sure do have lots of wild ones living nearby! Thanks for setting up these cameras and then editing as needed. And directing the critters if they don't behave (like Mr. Flicker).
Got your answer via email too. I had always assumed it wasn’t close to the house, but something you wrote made me think that it might be.
Always great critters here ~ fascinating post ~ thanks

Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,
You must have the largest variety of critters on the meme. Nice to see mini Fred.
I have the same critters but never a bear-that I know of. What fun to check these cameras because you never know what you will capture. Stay Cool!
Porcupines are such odd critters...but I love them. I got to see one a long time ago in the wild and stood very still. I didn't want it to be alarmed and shoot me! lol Hugs!
wonderful sightings

I wonder if the doe was being tricked into thinking that it was a river crossing... YAM xx
So glad you saw a mini. That's perfect!
You have everything covered!! Love that you have beavers and bears on your property, and deer!
You do have a wonderful range of critters!
There is so much wildlife around you, I love it.
The coyote needs to go to the vet and then get some Physical Therapy! Linda in Kansas
Many of the critters go through the yard at night as if there's nothing there.
Loving all the wildlife activity at your house. Those trail cams are great!
