Trailcam action

 Our snow has melted quite a bit. I shall have to do another panoramic photo today to keep up. If we see the sun!


The trees absorb the heat and spread its bounty. It's icy in spots and one must be careful.


Jesse, out in B.C., posted an amazing photo. Isn't that fabulous?! I think he heads for the hills Monday nights.  

Back to our quiet, melty Crumbly Acres.

The deer tend to be very aggressive. That said, they do posture and then respect the superiority of the alpha deer! Sadly 'Lefty' has not come back. She had a busted ankle. 


I've noticed this doe with fur missing from her hind quarters. 

I found great bunches of fur on the ground. They are a bit grumpy and hungry! 


We've a storm warning for freezing rain tomorrow. We shall see. You can see how it affects the critters. They kept slipping on the same icy spot!


I follow a pair trailcamera experts at Winterberry Farm

" Observing wildlife w/ trail cams & DSLR camera traps. Also camera tech tips. Mostly in Montana but also from our travels." – Janet Pesaturo & Robert Zak 

 They are amazing people. They know these products inside and out. 

Image sensor (motion sensor) from a trail cam, who knew? It's screen capture from the video.  


This is what they look like inside. I thought this was quite interesting.

The decrease in snow cover has been heartening.

Environment Canada has bumped us up to Orange so we are getting ready. The car is gassed up. The genny has gas. I'll find our extension cords in a bit. I was just telling Michael that prolonged freezing rain gives me anxiety more than any other weather here in E.Ontario. We are survivors of long term power outage from the big Ice Storm.

I especially liked today's video. For some reason, I found today's deer extra beautiful. Great BC view too!

I’ll just enjoy your shots of critters and let you know about how trailcams work!

Barbara Rogers said...

I didn’t mean Let you know” like it sounds…just let you be the expert!

Yes, interesing. And informative. Our cam is set for our deer feeding station and we get some quite funny shots.
I hope the ice misses both of us, but the Environment Canada site is not good.

Spring gets to be a jumble of critters and weather.

Tom said...

...I can get grumpy and hungry too!

Here's hoping the ice storm doesn't materialize, Jenn.
Your deer look very healthy and we'll fed for this late in winter!

Kay said...

So the deer are fighting. That's why there's fur missing?

Jenn Jilks said...

That's right, Kay. They whack one another with their hooves!
