A popular cool spring in early summer

After almost 2 weeks of working so hard on our old house, it's relaxing to sit back and remember this past season at a local spring. This spring either dries up or freezes late every fall and so it's devoid of wildlife from mid-November through April. Then, in May, the pool thaws and new water fills it completely. It becomes a very popular spot for summer and fall.

During May and June, bears dominate the spring but some other species drink from it too. This video includes every animal that triggered the camera during May and June 2020 which makes for fun footage.

  3. I think that moose needs to find a bigger pond!
    The mountain lion is a very focussed drinker.

  5. This was fabulous, so much fun to watch. I wonder why there are no moose in California. I have to Google it, I guess.

  7. What a great video! I loved all the different animals, though the blond bear and the bobcat were my fave. I laughed at the moose filling the entire pond. Thanks for sharing.

  11. Loved them all, the wee bobcat delicately choosing some grass, just like our own cats do, then the moose, hope he does find a larger pool. Still quite cool even though it is your spring into summer, guess they enjoy water that isn't so cold it has frozen.

  17. Very refreshing video after a typical dark cloudy November day. We love seeing all the animals, but of course, the bears are our favorites.

  18. I hope the creatures you share you surroundings with aren't starving or in need of water.
