Trailcam tales: raccoon, weasel, Hooper

I'm still wrestling with the trailcam. Hooper gives me good practice. 

Foggy day.

Then, the snow fell!

Not daunting for the young bucks, they played in the snowy meadow.

With the warmer temperatures, Butch raccoon has been around. Two, in fact. This is the best video of the weasel, so far. It could be a pine marten, too. I'm not sure!

It got stuck, but figured it out!

Sady trees a Fisher or Pine Marten

It seems there is a cat, who regularly walks her daddy every morning, who thinks she is a dog. Today she treed a fisher, some think it is a pine marten - perhaps she is part Wolverine. I thought cat owners needed to fear these wicked things, but our little kitty told it where to go!

I heard crittes rushing through the leaves. Sady bounced across the yard while a fisher balanced in the tree. With cute, round teddy bear ears it looked down wondering what went after it. Crawling higher up the tree it stayed there an hour.I called Brian to get Sady. Down below she was fighting him.She'd treed him and it was her critter.He watched as Sady bit Brian's thumb in his attempt to pick her up and take her indoors. Finally, I suggested Brian try to walk her into the basement.
Eventually it came down carefully. Sady won the battle.
