Tree Climbing Groundhog
Groundhog, despite their size, are surprisingly impressive climbers. The burrow of this particular guy/gal is just to the right of where this trailcam is mounted, and I see him/her on a routine basis. But this is the first time I’ve caught them climbing a tree.

Coyote Matching the Autumn Colours
I don’t often get coyotes in daytime videos, so this is definitely an exception to the rule. I was struck by the match between the colours of the coyote and the surrounding vegetation.

Bobcat Activity in the Fall, Featuring a Mother and Two Juveniles
I’ve increasingly captured bobcat activity on my trailcams over the last few years. These videos are particularly special to me as they were taken over a short time period and feature a mother out with what would have been her bobkittens from earlier in the year, plus the last video in this set has what…

Wild Turkey & 5 Chicks
A sign of woodland maturation is wild turkey moving in. Although I’ve seen wild turkey nearby, I’ve never captured video of one on my trailcams. This is an exciting development, especially as the mom has 5 chicks!

Fawn, Coyote, and Trailcam Glow Intervening
I’ve noticed coyotes being spooked by the red glow the trailcams give off when triggered at night. The first video shows a coyote pursuing a fawn, note its plaintive cries. When the fawn runs back past the trailcam the coyote continues its pursuit, but immediately halts and retreats due to the red glow. In the…

Mother Raccoon with a Couple of Youngsters
The videos below are from the Summers of 2021 and 2022. I routinely observe raccoons on each of my trailcams throughout the year. These videos are a bit different as they show an adult, that I assume is the mother, with a couple of playful juveniles.
