Winter Won't Quit

 

January and February winter weather in central Massachusetts was unseasonably warm with very little snow. The last few days of February and March certainly have been winter. Its snowing now with several inches of wet snow forecasted and this coming Tuesday we could get another eight inches. Tomorrow may be a good day for tracking. It would ne nice to locate another fisher scent mound in a different area.

Another check this week on the active fisher scent mound the camera trap videoed a second male and a female. Watch for the size comparison between the male and female fisher. https://youtu.be/ckRI3THUeis

This week I reached the 5000 mile-milestone hiking Quabbin in north central Massachusetts. The quest has given me an opportunity to see and photograph wildlife at its best and worst. I’ve put this adventure into a Power Point presentation. I have two scheduled speaking engagements this fall. I’ll share the dates and times later.

I located what appears to be a bear den dug under a log. There was no bear in it, I’m not sure it was used this year. It will be on my radar for next fall.
