Need To Stay On Your Game !

Hiking back to the truck the two coyotes on the title picture were straddling the cart road when I spotted them They were heading right towards me and closing the gap FAST
No time to adjust the settings on my camera.  An oversight on my part, DARN! A few miles back I had been sitting in an area with ample light.

This was a first. This young porcupine was sound asleep. High above it two adult porcupines watched as I passed.  Porcupines  are usually solitary animals.

Although Distant

Is was nice to see a Northern Harrier. Shortly before landing in the tree an Adult Bald Eagle was in pursuit.

Again pretty distant the Pileated WP kept me occupied

Came Close !

Power-lines ( although ugly in nature setting) can be very productive with wildlife. This morning at dawns first light I picked up on a moose feeding a few hundred yards away. The only reason I spotted him  because it was feeding in the cart road on the crest of the hill. Now.........
If I could only stalk quietly . I did make it about forty yards away when !
I needed just a another yard or so to get clear of the bushes in front of me. Great experience !
At least I got  a distant pics before the moose made it to the woods.

The doe was a welcomed surprise Looks like she may have rubbed her rump to rid the ticks.
