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
Despite appearing to look at me, this male black b Despite appearing to look at me, this male black bear was foraging for beech nuts in the leaf litter unaware of my presence. Please remember that we should not approach every animal that we find. We need to respect wild animals and their space. In this instance, I was able to use the wind and terrain to respectfully watch this bear from a distance.
"One-Eyed Tom" Bobcats are silent, skillful hunte "One-Eyed Tom" Bobcats are silent, skillful hunters that are keenly aware of their surroundings. This cat pauses, momentarily, on top of a beaver dam, to inspect the scent of beavers passing back and forth from their pond to the wetland below. A noise in the distance drew the bobcat's attention from the beaver slide to a disturbance in the otherwise still night air. This property is part of a mosaic of conservation land in the #squamlake watershed that is conserved and stewarded by the @squamlakesconservationsociety and the @lakesregionconservationtrust .

While looking over some of our fisher data on my c While looking over some of our fisher data on my computer, a shape moving outside the window caught my attention. To my astonishment, it was the resident bobcat on their morning commute across my property. When I first saw them, they were only 25ft away, but by the time I grabbed my camera they were a little further up the hill. Still, I was able to make this special photo. They seem to come through every few days to every other week, at least based on the tracks I've seen this winter. Furthermore, they often like to move across the hill in the same general area. #bobcat #newhampshire #wildlifephotography #wildcat #wildlife
It's here at last: fisher denning season! Starting It's here at last: fisher denning season! Starting in mid-March and continuing through mid-April, female fishers will begin having kits. Mothers will give birth to up to four kits, in tree cavities of a particular size. They select trees that have a cavity just large enough for them to squeeze inside but that are too small for other animals, including male fishers, to enter. #fisher #pekaniapennanti #newhampshire #wildlifephotography #wildlife
