Wildlife camera photos

 I changed the header photo to illustrate what our weather has been like this summer.  There have been few sunny days and mostly rain--tons of it.



My wildlife camera smapped photos of these deer early in June.   The doe...



and also the doe with her fawn on June 10.   I moved the camera because the last flood swamped it with water. 


I put the camera here along the upper road, hoping to catch a glimpse of the bear which our dog chased a couple of weeks ago right in this area.  Instead, I was glad to see the fawn and doe had not been eaten by the bear.   I believe it is the same one spotted in June, quite a bit larger ....



...and following the doe.

 I check my wildlife camera every week or so.  When I placed it on the waterfall, I spotted all kinds of wildlife--squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, pileated woodpeckers, blue jays, scarlet tanagers, etc.  But the most frequently photographed specimen was....

the Wood Thrush! Here is a cropped photo where the bird looked right into the camera.  I must have counted a dozen photos of the wood thrush getting a drink out of the waterfall.  I just noticed this week that the wood thrushes are quiet, perhaps they have already left our hollow to fly south for the winter.
