What's In Our Backyard?

 

In our neck of the woods, Steve has wildlife cameras set up here and there on our property. I thought I'd share with you our most recent pictures. The above doe doesn't know she's on camera, or does she? I think she's attempting her best left side profile pic.

!😳!

A snowshoe rabbit

Without the flash of the camera illuminating her eyes, she'd be incognito.

A Bobcat

This whitetail buck is a bit suspicious.

So is this Doe.

Hmmm...

I see all of you.

Wolf

And many more pics of wolves

that supposedly don't exist in the quantities

 that they actually do around our house.

You should hear them howl in packs.

Beautiful yet creepy.

A fox?

A Steve

A Hank on the trail of a what?

Freddy Fox Jr. was outside our window last night. 

He's a junior because his dad visits periodically. 

And yes, those are Christmas lights you see. 

No explanations or guilt-ridden reasons why they're still up. 

We just like 'em.

 And so do the Freddies.

Snowmobiling and Beaver Trapping

Last weekend our son and our grandson came up to check beaver traps. In between the checking, Eddie did some zoomin' around the house on his little snowmobile.

The snow was sparse and the temps warm. Little man got stuck on this little snow hill but Grandpa came to the rescue and gave him a push.

We took a jaunt to Hulbert for a burger and watched the deer chomp down corn and beets. On the upper left you can see a spike.

Back home and back out to the traps they went...

...and came back with a harvest of three!

The dogs get in on a picture.

But not Edison. He wanted to ride some more.

I sure am fascinated by a beaver's teeth and feet.
