It's another cold morning. We woke to 1 ℃ and I am agonizing about bringing in the fish from the pond. The leopard frogs are beginning to move to the pond. I am having fun watching the two bullfrogs, who are getting rather large.
The bullfrog hides in the sun in the foliage, digesting another wee frog! Ah, the circle of life. Here, I put arrows in to show you how close the two were. Plus Bullfrog has great camouflage.
It was a lovely day yesterday, as has been the rest of the week. The leaves are dropping, though.
The fisher loped by in the forest Sept. 10. Also, it came back Sept. 12th. I won't bore you with another video of it! They are hunting more seriously for food with the cooler weather. I love it's loping run, though.
I'll leave you with the bucks! They've lost the velvet off of their antlers. mating season begins in November, they will be ready.

ReplyDeleteSuch delightful companions! YAM xx
...frogs are in serious decline here, it's nice to see yours!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your critter videos. Thanks. Isn't it amazing that so many species walk across the same area, and must smell each other, but seem safe at the time they are there alone.
ReplyDeleteIt is always interesting to see what you captured on the trail cameras.
ReplyDeleteThe fisher is a strange looking animal, isn't it? I love the deer and other animals. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe bucks look so powerful.
ReplyDeleteSaturdays seem to be coming by quicker and quicker.
ReplyDeleteGreat critters and photos Jenn! I love the fisher and the deer.
ReplyDeleteThe Wood Thrush is a great bird. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Oh my gosh, I love all the animal photos! It's so cool that you get to see so much wildlife right where you are. The bullfrog is so well hidden, I almost couldn't spot it, and it's amazing that the coyote with the wounded leg is still doing okay. Thanks for sharing these! It's so interesting to see how the animals are preparing for the colder weather.

You've got quite the range of critters stopping by! I can't believe you've got a fisher loping through the video!
ReplyDeleteSo many cute critters around you.
ReplyDeleteYou all are really getting cooler up there. I would love to have some 30 degree temps. Our's gets her in January..
ReplyDeleteOh my what a great collection of critters especially the ones caught romping about!
ReplyDeleteGosh! I haven't seen a skunk in such a long, long time which frankly is OK with me. We used to get their scent on many a summer night when we had our windows opened in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any wolves up in your area? Have you ever captured any on your trail cameras?
ReplyDeleteWe do have wolves, Jim, just not very many. They are further north in Algonquin Park, for example.
DeleteI've been out of commission for a week computer-wise so probably won't catch up but wow -- what a mass of wildlife! Such diversity!
ReplyDeleteHandsome fellow and as you say, circle of life and all that. Loving all the activity in your videos.
