Forest Service Road Travelers

Monday, we put our two cameras out on the Forest Service road above our home and retrieved them this afternoon. The first camera we placed where I had seen a bear cub last week. There was also an animal trail crossing the road, and bobcat scat on the road. Looked promising! Here are some of the videos from that camera.

The bear in the above video is investigating the camera in the video below.  Luckily it didn't knock it over or worse!

The second camera was placed a few miles further up the road in an area dense with berry vines. We had spotted an animal trail going into the vines and placed the camera near the exit facing the road. The video below is the only animal shot we got.  

I guess the camera spooked this bear and it took off - pretty impressive speed for such an ungainly looking animal!
