Plenty of Moose

 

It has been a good year camera trapping moose. Hopefully this fall with the rut, bulls find my trail cameras. It has been a wet summer to say the least in Massachusetts. Last night serious thunderstorms and heavy rain blanketed the area, Rivers and streams are swollen to capacity. The weather looks good for this coming week. This will give time for the water to recede.

I did find a tree that was hit by lightning from the storm. When the tree was struck, it sent a six-foot splinter flying about thirty yards away and stuck in the ground standing straight up.

The pond I was at has two beaver lodges in view, both appeared were close to being submerged. My guess is the inside chamber was full of water and that is why the resident beavers were swimming around it.
