Bears Are Active !

 

Off to a good start, capturing five different bears with camera traps in Massachusetts so far this year. The pictured bear is dark and is number five capture for April. I’m hoping to video a sow with COY (cubs of the year) crossing this dam. Reviewing 2021 videos, I only documented one sow with COY’s using that dam last year. However, there were multiple sows with yearlings that used the beaver dam from May through October

Checking cameras this morning from a new swamp had only night videos of raccoons and a bobcat. Glad I checked them out. One of the trail cameras needs minor adjusting to get a better look at the beaver dam and the second camera needs to be moved. The morning sun triggered nearly five hundred pictures.
