Fall in Northern Vermont

A full assortment of pictures from a recent camera check in Northern Vermont. One remote camera has been taking pictures in the same location for over a year and half with the same batteries. The coyote picture was taken at a new test site along a river bank. It was located in dense growth along a logging path and I was expecting few if any pictures, yet it yielded some of the best results and most diverse species. After all the years camera trapping, I am constantly surprised and continuing to learn. 

 

Bears and more Bears

I've been experimenting with a new IR camera I recently built. Since the camera is viewing the full spectrum of light, the colors are slightly off as there is no longer an IR filter on the glass inside the camera. Thus far I haven't noticed any difference in wildlife behavior compared to the white flash units I normally use. These are a few pictures from one spot in northern N.H. It was close to a bog and the black bear traffic was incredible to watch. At least 6 different bears visited this location in a 19 day period. Some spent time feeding in the blueberry patch directly in front of the camera or trying get pry the camera off the tree.
