Nature Friday - Winter Wildlife Parade

My “snowed in” trail cam had a parade of wildlife go past it over the course of the four months when I was absent. A bear busily marking a tree provided the “book ends” marking the start of winter and the supposed end of winter (ha ha - we are in the midst of a huge snow storm now!). Multiple mountain lion, frosty deer, foxes, skunks, and turkeys all moseyed or sprinted past it.









I put the Noah’s Ark of animals into one short video. It gives me an idea of what it would be like to sit invisibly in that spot where the cam and watch the animals go about their everyday lives.




I am putting together this post from my iPad because my computer is busy being backed up right now. I hope that the formatting turns out okay!

    if not for the time on the video it would looke like the deer and the mountain lion were there at the same time. it seems that leaning tree is a great spot for all the critters.. the turkeys made me smile as did the skunk. my son once had a skunk living under his bathroom sink.... inside not outside, a pet

    How fun to see what happens for those months when you are not able to get to the camera. Animals are gorgeous, fun, and interesting.

    That's a busy little highway there! That's the kind of traffic I'd love to watch go by. :)
