Recent Trail Camera Photos

A rare sighting of Black Bears. This is only the secont time I’ve recorded a bear on my camera. They have been active this spring and have destroyed my bird feeder twice. Coyotes and Racoons are frequently recorded. The first fawn of the year appeard and it looks like the male White-tails are getting their horns.
