Spring In Full Swing !

 


 Spring wildlife activity is really picking up. I heard a few peepers the other day and with the few warm days last week, Im sure theyll were in full chorus in many locations. Lost Pond has had the most wildlife activity so far this spring. The bear from last week has made two more visits during the cover of darkness. I was able to distinguish the bear is a male and has recognizable markings. Hopefully he makes a daytime appearance. This area has a good crop of skunk cabbage which should attract additional bears. A wildlife photographer / trail Camera colleague located my trail cameras while bushwhacking in one my new camera trapping areas. He was kind enough to email me and make me aware. The email was very much appreciated. Hadnt he done that; I would have moved the cameras. Thanks Again Mike!

A second bear has triggered a camera trap set about five miles away. This young bear was extremely inquisitive and a bit rough with a trail camera, Im glad it was in a metal security box. The coming week is going to be warm and Im looking forward to seeing (videoing) Sows with cubs.
