Camping In The Quabbin Area

My wife and I have been camping for the week, spending full days enjoying Quabbin. The extreme heat and humidity has kept us to a minimum with activity.
I have been sitting  watching a swamp with my camera each morning with absolutely no  mammal activity. Only two weeks ago watching this same swamp I was able to photograph a Doe & Fawn , Moose and a Great Horned Owl.
Not doubt the extreme heat has minimized all animal activity.
The picture below is the swamp I have been watching .
The reservoir has receded , which allows for  shore walking. It was  a perfect time to see if I could locate a decent coyote track in the mud and make a cast
These casts were just taken and lightly brushed off. The cast on the right is the coyote and the cast on the left appears to be a very small bobcat track.

Camp is now complete. All the comforts of home! The solar shower was hung up after the water heated in the sun.

Jim.
