Black Bear

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

I recently put up a trail camera in the woods at Distant Hill, just a few hundred feet from the main road. It is amazing what is hidding out there in the forest.

In the past few weeks we have had numerous red fox, a fisher, a black bear,  a raccoon family,  and an opossum visit us, along with dozens of gray squirrels. To view all of the trail photos taken at Distant Hill, with links to information on each animal, go to my Trail Camera set on Flickr.
