Game Camera Working Overtime

The game camera was placed in the Quabbin a week ago. The results have been very good for only seven days. One Red Fox , One Bobcat and a picture with two coyotes ( night image) The anticipation when the camera was set out was a Bobcat, All I can say is that is has been a productive week for this camera. I set out a second camera at a different are of Quabbin in hopes of getting an early winter bear before they den. Hiking this weekend showed a number of bear tracks in the snow.
Watched a crow this morning at waters edge , was I surprised to watch it   grab a floating fish on the waters surface ! It was only 26 degrees....
You can see that a Perch was floating on the surface and the Crow able to grab it without submerging itself. It may be common practice. Its the first time I have seen this.
