Lots of Bear Photos - Part One

I still have LOTS of bear photos from September to share.

These are from the 2nd trail camera we have down at Dorothy's Creek. 

Night time

Mama and her trio

Daytime - I LOVE bear feet - look at the cob on the right. 

More bear feed - middle cub and cub on the right.

And now Mama's foot.

Another series of mom and cubs

Everybody is drinking.

Playing in the water

Ooops! 

Sunday's Hummers

An Anna's - female

 

And a surprisingly late female Rufous Hummingbird.

This series was taken last Sunday on the 19th.

The Merlin app and I both agreed in was a Rufous. 

You can see the brown on the sides.

Here's an even better look - brown sides, not white.

Saturday - More Trail Camera Photos

Smaller critters captured on the trail camera.

Wednesday's Walk

 A lovely autumn day! 

The sun takes much longer to shine on the backyard these days.

But by 8:30am all is in the sunshine.

There's now a nice display of rose hips. 

And ripe apples abound.

The Hawthorns are covered in bright berries.

I think that's why the Ceder Waxwings continue to hang around.  

The deer will eat well the next several weeks.  There are dozens of old abandoned apple trees in the fields.

No one eats Snowberries as best I can tell.

I love the light in the forest this time of year.  

The honeysuckle berries glow in the sunshine.

Besides apple trees, I found a pear tree, and this is a plum. 

This young Douglas Fir leader is bent over with the weight of all the cones.

A butterfly takes advantage of one of the few remaining wildflowers - Tansy Ragwort.
