  • Trail Cam Friday 7/17 SHE’s BAAAAACKKKK!!!!

    My trail cam pictures

    Trail cam shows that my friend the bear is back!!  (Yes, I know…. the bears are not my friends….. I know I would be a tasty treat.  I know that is how I will die…….. but it looked so sweet and fluffy will be my last words.) I have absolutely no idea what the bright spot is, maybe it’s a SIGN that says “Pet me here!” in really tiny letters.  MAYBE it’s a PET collar!!! The only other interesting pictures are the squirrel, rabbit and chipmunk all together. A few deer for good measure. This picture intrigues me. Is it a bat??  If it is why isn’t it using it’s bat house?!? From the second trail cam we only got a couple of fairly good shots. And that is all for this week. Carry on Little Peanuts!
