The tail end of autumn on a bear path

Thanks for all of the good thoughts! Hachi is back to being his normal very energetic self. Part of why we worry so much when he's not feeling well is that taking him to the vet is such a hard thing. He'd have to be knocked out for an exam (although, if we keep working at it, we hope that someday that won't be needed).  We are so relieved that he didn't need the trauma of a vet visit to get better.

I'm sharing an autumn wildlife video. Late autumn was a phase when I was not keeping up with my cams besides making quick visits to put in batteries for the winter. When I finally was ready to check out the memory cards from the cams, I was happy to find more bear antics! This video was from the tail end of autumn. It's up high in the mountains, well above our home elevation, and I'm guessing that there are no animals in that area now. So, this was the last of the elk, bobcats, and bear for the season. The bears were looking fat and ready to sleep away the winter. 

Knowing that these animals are part of our world makes me feel peaceful and happy. Check out the video if you have time!

  5. that bobcat is so beautiful and I like that your camera zooms in closer when the animal sits still. i wonder if anyone else sits and smiles at the bears rubbing on that tree, it just cracks me up. and the first one, mama and baby, she almost tore the tree down nd then started to go back the way she came and realized she was going the other way. just like me. I laughed out loud

  7. Hachi, great news. Those lumbering bears, the last one had a quick shower by the look of his wet coat, then a fox streaked by in the background, so fast.But as always, the bobcat was my pick, truly beautiful as he sat still, one ear twitching.The bears looked very well padded up ready for a lone winter rest, that tree gets a lot of attention.

  13. The bears look nice and healthy. Can I just say I love the bobcat's rear 'snowshoes.' Their hind paws are gigantic!
