Coyote Sign

Coyote sign was consistent in my long hike this morning.

One of my trail camera's did get this pic of a coyote passing through

Coyote urine deposit with blood spotting an indication this female is just about to come into heat.

It was a beautiful morning to sit and watch the reservoir. A distant otter was the only animal activity seen. It was a nice day to hit the 1900 mile milestone. Only 100 more to go ! Then what ???

Trail Cameras Busy

Saturday's hike took me to the water ice line where I sat for a while seeing nothing at all.. On the hike back to the truck I checked several trail camera's that are scattered about the Quabbin woods.
It was nice to see that there was activity.
The picture above is a handsome buck that has posed for the camera a number of times but never quite looking directly at the camera. Now we can see he is eight pointer.

Here is a spike that has lost on side of his antlers. This picture is the third buck the trail camera/s have photographed in three weeks.

A distant coyote sneaking along a stone wall with the trail camera catching it's presence in the area.

This doe walked very close to the trail camera,
I would call this a good week with the trail cameras. It goes to show that even though you might not see anything on your Quabbin hike, they are there. The snow less winter keeps the animals moving in search of food.
