This year was highlighted by the first picture of a coyote (in January) and this being the first full year of having my newer trail camera. I certainly tried to get every possible angle.
Not everyone shares my love of squirrels. There are a total of 10 images I chose that feature or include a squirrel.
Here we go...
JANUARY
First coyote photo
Red-bellied Woodpecker x 2
The caption for this squirrel should be "Uh, excuse me. The others sent me to tell you we are out of bird seed..."
The "listening tree"
A matter of perspective
Red-tailed Hawk (I still see one in the woods)
Which one of these is not like the other?
FEBRUARY
Not a great photo but my only "capture" of a Cooper's Hawk
MARCH
Coyote Crossing
"Hello!"
APRIL
I was hoping this Eastern Bluebird would nest but I didn't see any after this day.
Nice try!
Bye-bye
MAY
Scram!
JUNE
JULY
My best American Goldfinch so far.
Love the photo below. Wish it was running toward the camera.
No butterfly bush but I do get butterflies...
AUGUST
Morning clouds
SEPTEMBER
Got lucky with this Fox Squirrel (although they always come back to look at you)
OCTOBER
Doe close-up and buck breath
Break time
This woodchuck lives at the corner of Meredith Dr. and Beaver Ave.
Maple in my front yard
Decoy?
NOVEMBER
Red Fox
DECEMBER
I was on the lookout for this Red-tailed Hawk near the bike trail
Coyote (looks well fed)
And ending with a sunny day at the feeder. I can always count on White-breasted Nuthatches.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ Here's to 2017!
