Let us re-set the scene: A deceased young buck (male deer) was found on one of the trails of the Outdoor Discovery Center, unable to survive this year’s harsh winter. So out of curiosity, Educator Carl set up his trail camera near the deer and captured images of a cottontail rabbit, red fox, and our resident Bobcat!
Cut to last week: after the first round of photos proved to be a success, Carl set up the trail cam again in the same place. This time around, it captured wonderful images of even more amazing animals, including a Grey fox, Black Vultures, Turkey Vultures, and Crows! In addition, some of the stand-out moments include a pair of Coyotes, one in mid-feast, one in the light of day, getting a glimpse of the impressive Turkey Vulture’s wingspan, and watching a Coyote and Bobcat pass each other without incident.
