Critter-cam PHOTOS
The Critter-cam is a motion activated 35mm wildlife camera trap. We will set it up occasionally in areas where we have seen recent critter activity to see if we can get some good critter shots.
Check out the best of the Critter-cam's photos below.
In mid July 2007 I set the Critter-cam up at a possible fox den on Top Knoll during a Critter hunt hike. Below is a shot of how we oriented the cam at the site. The den is under the fallen tree on the right and the cam is on the tree on the left.
Looking down into the den!
After the cam had been set up for about 10 days it had only taken 3 photos. I decided to remove it because of low activity at the site. It is probable that the den is vacant.
I moved the cam to a location near the lodge's compost area and take a look at the results!
This inqusitive Grey Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) is probably the same one that we have photographed before.
He is quite photogenic.
These Turkey Vultures seem to have found something good to eat! vultures are part of natures's clean up crew. They eat things that most other animals will not eat such as rotting meat. They have such a strong immune system that they can eat foods that would be toxic to other animals. Without the vulture the earth would be a very smelly place.
This is a Black Vulture. They have a much better sense of smell than the Turkey Vultures and will often lead the Turkey vultures to food.
Below is the first photo of a Coyote taken at Earthshine!
We have known that Coyotes were here on the mountain for a while because we have found tracks and scat and often hear them calling to each other at night with barks, yips and howls. They may be one of the culprits in the dissappearance of a few of our chickens!
This awesome photo was taken in Feb. 2008 about 100 yards from the lodge!
Several guests and staff have seen a fox prowling about near the lodge. I set up the Critter-cam near the area where the Fox had been seen and here are some of the photos it captured.
A nice Gray fox! Possibly the same fox that ran off with our chickens!
A rascally Raccoon (Procyon lotor) smiles at the camera.
Caught in the act!
That flash has just gotta hurt the eyes!
While the 35mm Critter-cam is a nice unit it is getting old. We hope to replace it with a digital, infrared unit in the future so that we will be able to upload the photos shortly after they are taken.
We have had some fox problems for a couple of years due to the chickens and ducks being easy pickins' so the chickens are stuck in the coop until the fox kits go off on their own. The ducks however occasionally loose out to the sly and sneaky foxes. Check out the photos below of a fox family feasting on a duck one of the parents had killed.
