Recent trailcam images

I neglected the National Forest cameras all summer and finally got out there. The highlight would have to be a young bear climbing a tree as his mother patrols the ground on July 22. The final shot of the bear sequence is a few minutes later from a different camera on the same tree facing the opposite direction. There's also a bobcat, a moose pair and the usual deer.

I have four cameras spread along a trail from the bridge to the miner's cabin, and a fifth set up on a side trail. It was difficult to put the fifth camera on that trail because there are no well-positioned trees, so I finally just drove a stake into the ground. It is a frequent route followed by a couple of coyotes, as well as rabbits and the local deer.
