Critter Cam 11-15

One big family, a set of twins maybe?, lots of pics of Spike, one scared up doe, and one buck.

Maybe twins?

Moma on alert.

Big family.

Lots of pics of Spike every night.

The only buck other than Spike.  Sunday night was the only time he showed up.

Lots of scars. Looks like a young doe.

I am not a good stalker...

 I went for an early walk today. Often on Sunday, I walk in the fields and woods instead of down the road.  I wanted to go down to the creek today to see if the eagles have landed.  I saw one in the air above the Mennonite's Friday afternoon.

This hawk was sitting in a tree by the pond on our side of the road. I often see him in this tree after the leaves fall.

I started down through the neighbor's new gate with my hunters orange cap and vest, but just as I started down the hill, I heard a shot.  I turned and came back to my own property.  I heard a vehicle start right after the shot, so I think the got a deer.

Clouds were almost hiding the sun.  It was well after daylight, but pointing the camera directly at the sun makes for a dark photo.

We went up the rock quarry road instead. The dogs had found a squirrel to chase.

The feeder in the far distance, just past the dogs.  It still had a handful of corn. We need to fill it this afternoon.  If the four wheeler will not start, as it often will not in cooler weather, we can take the tractor and just raise the bucket up to fill it. Tractors are so useful on a farm.

Someone's home.

We walked on down the woodland road son uses to take his wheeler up on top the hill.

Right here, we jumped a fawn that was hiding, probably waiting for Moma.  It was about 20 feet away when it jumped up.  Neither me nor the hunters with me had any idea it was there.  We are not good at this hunting thing.

 

This is a drake on our pond.  This is the second time this week I have seen a single duck on the pond. I zoomed in to see if it was male or female.  Usually they are in pairs or groups of 3 or more.  I wonder where the mate is.

Have to get ready for Church now.  Helen, Hannah and Allison are tagging along today.

 

 

Rise up, rise up

God's on his Heaven, All's right with the world. I am going to do better today than I did yesterday. Say it and make it so.
