Trail Camera



Pictured above are some  highlights of pictures taken with trail cameras set out in Quabbin. My goal was to see if the camera could capture a picture of a young bear and a big bear. Earlier in the week I hiked and checked one of the cameras and was pleased to see a very young bear ( apprx 11/2 years) passed in front of the trail camera. This bear is pictured above in the top center of the collage.



There are seven mammals in the pictures above. Five should be easy to identify. How about the other two. Can you identify them?



Gray Foxes should call Quabbin there home. I have been reading about there behavior and habitat. My next challenge is to see if a trail camera can snap a picture of this elusive mammal. In my many miles hiked I have yet to even catch  glimpse of one.
