The camera trap hasn't been very busy this last week. I caught a bobcat the first week, a fox the second, and a buck in the third week. That is all. This morning I moved the camera once again to another spot in the same general area, this time along a rarely used trail that has caught both people and coyotes in the past, and where recent raccoon scat can still be found.
This has got to be an old RC Cola can with the red lettering completely faded.
Lichen galaxies.
Haven't seen a bobcat up here in a long time. So I brought my own.
They like it up here.
One of the best bobcat encounters I ever had on Mt. Tam started very near this city-view vantage point, three years ago this week.
Bobcat on Bolinas Ridge, November 18, 2012.
A red-tailed hawk soars above the ridge in an offshore wind.
Once the hawk passed, bird life resumed its busy ways. Here, an acorn woodpecker scores a nut from a canyon live oak (Quercus chrysolepis).
I feel this blog drawing to a close as 2015 winds down. I remain hopeful that we'll get some real rain before year's end. I'd like to close out with some nice mushrooms and waterfalls.
