A large male black bear decides to take a dip in w A large male black bear decides to take a dip in what could reasonably be called his vernal pool, on a property owned and stewarded by @squamlakesconservationsociety . I documented at least 10 unique individuals (but likely closer to 12 bears) using this vernal pool, or the mud that was left behind when it dried up, last year. The male in these photos spent significantly more time at the vernal pool than any other bear. This year, I'm looking forward to documenting the bear activity there throughout the entire summer. Last year, I only ran a camera here from mid July to the end of September. Nikon D750, 1/125, f/7.1, auto ISO, -2.3 exposure, 35mm, with @camtraptions PIR V4 sensor #bear #blackbear #cameratrapping #nh #wildlife

Meet F17. This mother fisher of three kits recentl Meet F17. This mother fisher of three kits recently moved dens, going from a large sugar maple (34.5 inches dbh) to the snag behind her in the photo. Fishers require mature forests for hunting and particularly denning opportunities. Large, old trees offer the best chances for cavity dependent species, like fishers, to find enough den and rest sites. These are some of the criteria female fishers use to select den sites: - a cavity opening 2-4 inches wide by a minimum of 3 inches tall (prevents larger animals, like raccoons, from entering) - minimum tree diameter of 14 inch, often prefer larger - more than one potential den site within a few hundred meters of each other, sometimes within a half mile - an area of low human activity Taken using the silent shutter mode on a Nikon Z7ii, without flashes, and a @camtraptions PIR v4 sensor. This was intentional, in order to minimize the disturbance to her.
This uncollared female fisher visited the den site This uncollared female fisher visited the den site of our collared female fisher F12, yesterday morning. This pedal marking behavior is typical among otters, though with less of a spring in their step, but I have never heard or read of fishers marking in this manner. To me, this feels like a more aggressive scent marking behavior, and it leads me to wonder whether this is a territorial dispute of sorts. #fisher #wildliferesearch #nh #whitemountains
It's a big scary world out there for one little ca It's a big scary world out there for one little cat... This young adult bobcat, likely just about a year old, cautiously walked up my driveway and around my house this morning. Likely concerned about the resident adult bobcat and other big scary things, like people, they were noticeably more alert than the resident cat that confidently strode by my backdoor just two weeks ago. I wish this little guy or gal the best of luck! #bobcat #squamlake #newhampshire #wildlifephotography #cat
