A Bit Ugly & Bear Tidbit

Certainly isn't going to win a beauty contest.

Moving along very slow a pair of immature Turkey Vultures let me stalk within about fifty feet of them before flying away.

The early hour and tree canopy challenged the camera for light.

Continuing on I came upon this pile of bear scat.

Pictured above is a small pile of bear scat with a peach pit in it. Based on diameter of the scat it would suggest that it was a small bear ,maybe even a cub. I bet it must have felt some relief after leaving that pile:)

Quabbin was very peaceful this morning.

Yesterday the cloud cover didn't clear until mid-morning along Quabbin's northwest shoreline. On the hike back I decided to cut back up to the power -line on the way back to the truck.

Walking along slowly looking down.......

Dekay's Brownsnake caught my eye.It was a couple of quick picks with the camera before it moved on

This morning back at it. This porcupine was also out for a hike.

This Pickerel Frog was the last pic opportunity for the morning
