Watch fall morph into winter on an animal path

As an arctic storm is hitting us, it's fun to look back at this fall during the phase when the world was going to sleep at the end of fall. The scene was an animal trail that includes trees that bears scent mark. A variety of wildlife passed the spot - including a bear or two! The bears are most certainly asleep now. In contrast, the snowshoe hare who appeared partially white on 10/2 is probably still active in that very same spot. What an amazing small animal!

Check out the video. It's short, and it reminds me that winter will soon start to give away to spring because the seasons change fast!

  7. I watched the video a couple of times. It's great to know that there are places where wild animals can thrive. When I first moved here in 2006, wildlife was vibrant and healthy. After so many years of drought, I don't see any wild animals, except ground squirrels and gophers. A few coyotes, perhaps and that's all. Even the birds are gone for the most part. Drought is a very scary thing to see up close.

    1. It sure is scary. The fires that it causes are the stuff of nightmares.

  8. As the days grew colder, the bears lumbered past, the Bob cat scored a meal, and others scampered so quickly. I never fail to be totally entranced by your videos, the temperatures and the dates, giving us all a wonderful view of wildlife in reality. As Covid spreads, and protests linger, and countries prepare for war, this is such a welcome time as we see the animals safe in their own part of the world near you.
