A few travelers

This log is well traveled and just about every kind of animal uses it. If you haven't seen pictures of an animal yet, just wait, you will.

Just a little to slow

I was hoping to get a bobcat at this set...and I did, but the camera was just a little to slow. The extending lens took just barely to long to capture this cat. Everything worked perfectly as I had planned it, but the timing was off.  I thought the wide angle (PIR), which detects changes in heat (motion), was enough to catch this cat, but the lesson I learned is live and learn. The interesting part to me is that when I reviewed the times that I set this camera out, the cat passed by the camera only 50 minutes after it was set out.

The ducks own dam

The last couple shots from this location, the ducks we the most common visitor on this old beaver dam. They are often hard to get natural pictures, but wildlife cameras allow relaxed photo's every time.

A few more visitors

A couple more from my favorite funneling point. It was fun flipping through the pictures like a flip book and watching this beaver pile up new food, which he will later store for the winter near his house. He is certainly healthy looking the say the lease. The area where this waken is surrounded by hundreds of other beaver ponds, and the influence that these environmental engineers have on the environment is massive.

The goose is gone

The wood duck duo and the Canadian goose are back. Enjoyed this shot which emphasizes the size difference between the two birds.

As much as mammals use this funnel point as a crossing, so do the birds. In the pictures above a wood duck and a Canadian goose pause to look at the camera.

Deer in for the drink

Deer use this crossing often as the geography funnels them to this pinch point. This one stayed to check out the camera and grab a quick drink.
