I have lots of photos to show, many of them nocturnal.
This camera is just a few feet from our driveway.
To the left is Dorothy's Creek - a seasonal creek that the deer ford wet or dry. On the right is a path the animals regularly use.
The camera caught a Steller's Jay having a drink.

Here he is again.
In September the light is lower...
Coming through...
Four at a time.
And now on to the mostly nocturnal photos...
Early in the month a young bear decided to mark this tree...
...I wonder who he sees.
But we've barely gotten started (pun!)
Here's a sow with her three cubs!
Aren't they just adorable?
Besides a bear, there was a bobcat...
...and a Big Cat!
Three Big Cats!
A mother cougar (to the right) and her two kittens (left).
Cougar cubs or kittens live with their mother for two years.
Given the size of these animals, I think they are in their second year.
They look to be beautiful animals.
Mama headed off, but the kids continued to drink away.
Slurp.
One last photo - pretty cool!
Very Cool!!! Love the bear and bobcat photos!

Fantastic photos Beth. I love seeing the little cubs. RJ
ReplyDeleteWow! Makes my badgers look a little low rent. Takes all of my 'four-bearance' not to be jealous.
