First deer sighting of 2016
This might be the momma deer and baby from last year. Although last year in the fall momma had two fawns. So I am guessing only one made it through the winter.
deer sighting The fawn in hidden behind momma, but this video shows them walking away.
We are testing a new trail camera, Moultrie® GM-80xt but it has its issues. It should of easily record several images and at least two ten second videos given the amount of time the deer were in the camera’s view.One thing we learned is that rechargeable batteries are useless in this camera, full charge Duracell batteries lasted only 1 day at 0ºC weather and the camera did not work below 0ºC. The company recommended Energizer regular batteries and it produced this image and video in -10ºC.

Footprints in the snow
Footprints in the snow On a walk today in the woods and there are plenty of rabbit tracks and such. A few small critters too, like mice. I am not sure what critter these footprints belong too. I know there is an ermine on the property so maybe that’s what it is.

Monday morning is always brighter with a deer visit
Monday… cloudy, overcast, warm for the fall season and muggy… t’is a close day, as they say. Momma and her litter of two came by for a visit today, so work comes to a stop as we enjoy the company.

Birds eating fungi
Birds eating forest floor fungi Another one of these yellow fungi appeared overnight. Like the others, it will turn a bright yellow during today and then slowly fade. Apparently its edible to at least these birds. If anybody knows the name of the bird specie, let me know.
