Saturday's Critters

 We'll start with the driveway, and the totally inadequate trailcam! This is the red fox. Quick and sprightly, to quote Aster.

I caught the tail end of the skunk who triggered the driveway camera, as well, but it wasn't quite as identifiable. Here is a daytime photo from a few years ago.

The coyote came and went! They always travel quite smartly.

Butch is looking chubby for winter!

   

 One of them has a sore paw. Poor thing.

   

 It is Thanksgiving next weekend, we've two turkeys! Coincidence?!

Winter progresses...

Winter progresses. We had 5 cm snow yesterday. My hand were sore for hours after. It's all good exercise, however.

The buck still has his antlers. He should shake them off soon! Once the hormones decline with the cold and lack of food, the blood supply drops off, and they drop off. This is the spot where I had lots of snowshoe hare tracks. No hare, though!

JB has named the turkeys: Otto and Stan. There were three, but the coyotes nabbed one in November [The turkey incident]. I spotted them on a walk, far off in the forest. wild turkeys  

 

The doe was quite concerned about Oregano Feb 1 & 2  , our feral nocturnal visitor.

 

  
I talk to the animals. Don't you?! doe a deer  

 

Finally, cats . I moved the trailcam to the deck. It's very clear. I hope you love the antics of our twins. This was a test. I'll see if I can get feral Oregano on it!
