Bear # 9 so far this year is pictured above. I also saw a bear hiking this morning. It was neat watching it as it stood  up try to catch the direction of my scent was coming from..

 The beaver  pond I’ve been camera trapping since last December has come alive. Last week’s visit showed several small hemlock  trees partially chewed by beavers .Two trail cameras were positioned close by in hopes of catching the beaver busy at work.

Moose are having their calves. A friend sent me a picture of a sow with a newborn on Wednesday.

Water lilies are starting to grow in beaver ponds. Moose will soon be looking for their tender stems. Camera traps will need to be re- positioned overlooking the pond shoreline this weekend
