Winter Finally Arrives In Massachusetts

 

Finally, wintry weather in Massachusetts. It has been a busy week checking  camera trap sets that are monitoring beaver lodges, only one beaver pond had enough ice to support a coyote or bobcat  ( cover pic). Although the temperatures are going to get above freezing next week, hopefully the ice will stay. Last week, two camera trap sets on log bridges captured bobcats crossing during the night. I will start keeping track of the number of bobcats that trigger trail cameras this winter. Tomorrow morning, I head out on my first tracking adventure of the year. Certainly, will be a bit challenging with a foot of snow.
