This was surprising.  I think the camera may still be the hour ahead so this would have been around 7:45 am.

You hear them before you see them.  Toy

And of course we seem to always have a bear.....

Almost reminds me of the foggy pictures of the Loch Ness Monster...  Toy

Haven't had much on the cameras lately.

As much as the mountain lions make me nervous the coyote makes me nervous for our pets.  Don't worry I have seen our cat, Rain, since this video.     Toy

Earlier, there were three cubs, now there are only two. Guessing someone caught it attacking livestock.

This was our creek from the rains we had.

See that big cedar? Now come back about 15', that's where I lost 5' of the bank, and this really wasn't that much water, it just lasted a long time.

This bugged me because I had planted two cedar trees about 4' back from the creek after shoring up the bank with rock.
All of it disappeared.
Now I'll have to dig up a couple more and plant them further back.

I bet that creek is running pretty fast by the time it gets off the mountain.

It starts just 3 miles upstream, it's all spring-fed, but during heavy rains, it collects on the mountainsides and comes down pretty fast especially when we get 14" in a weeks time.
We needed it, I just didn't expect it to come in the form of rain, it's usually melting snow.

It's been awhile but nothing much has been happening.

Only seen them on camera a few times.  This is the first one this season.  Toy

I warned this was coming along with an increase of Mt Lions. Too damn much food for prey.
If Toy had posted all the other videos from this camera, you'd have seen a dozen rabbits, an increase over a single pair from last year.
Nature's balancing act.

Things are picking up on the trail cameras.  Toy

Annnd so it begins.    
From missing livestock to trash cans in the road, the sleepless nights begin.

Unfortunately people's pets are also on that shopping list. Had to give up raising sheep, even though I penned them at night, coyotes would get them in the day.


Been meaning to ask, with more people moving in are you seeing a difference in the bear's activity?
