June 14th

A variety of animals hung out around the house on June 14th - I made this video from different clips from that day.  I had to slow down the bobcat clip because she went by so quickly.  This was actually the first day we saw the baby bear that we have now seen a couple more times since.

Friends Forever

A truly beautiful and bizarre scene.  An elk finds the bones and skull of an elk that died near our court several years ago.  The elk starts chewing on one of the bones and decides to lay down and join the skull for a visit.  Surreal.

Great Horned Owl

This is (I think - feel free to correct me) a Great Horned Owl. We only see this kind approx once a year.  99% of the owls we see here are Barred Owls.  This is from a week ago and we haven't seen her again, so she must not have found the pond to her liking and probably only gave us one Hoot on OwlYelp.

A Gift from My Past Self to My Current Self!

So I found this old camera in a drawer full of stuff that needs repairs.  And lo and behold, there was an SD card in it with videos from more than a year ago we never saw. It was thoughtful of me-from-a-year-ago to leave some surprise videos for me-from-today!  The best one is this one of a bear using a tree to scratch that "just right" spot.  Thanks, past version of me, for being a forgetful stooge so I could enjoy this extra fun today.
