Starting Hiking Early

Needed a flashlight this morning. Hiked in deep before sunrise. The plan was to sit and wait for coyotes . Didn't work out ! They were all about a mile away harassing a friend. After sitting awhile I headed off to check on a few trail cameras. Slow week, only a fisher and a bashful fox.. With the rain last week, a small cove had open water. A flock of American Black Ducks were taking this opportunity to feed and high above the cove an immature eagle was gliding in circles.

Nice Morning To Be Out !

Beautiful morning to watch the sunrise while sitting in anticipation of some critter walking by. On the way back to my truck this beaver was out getting breakfast. It was much to close for the camera I was using so the iphone would have to do.

Trail Cams picked up a little activity during the week I had to crop one of the coyote pics; Sun was blaring into TC lens.

Beaver was just a few feet from me!

Minus 13 To Start

Actually it wasn’t too bad hiking this morning. No wind!   Put some miles on hoping to catch some coyote activity on the ice. I watched these two does slowly walking down a ridge. They were convinced I didn’t see them and were going to let me walk by. At about 40 yards I was able to get several pics.
