Trail Camera Tales - Epilogue

Saturday, April 7 – Dawn brings clear skies, sunshine and cold.  With no overnight visitors the crows return yet little remains.  As evidence there is a noticeable lack of traffic as the photo count drops.  The girls and I return to check things out and all we find is bare turf in the excavated snow with not a speck of chicken or a bone remaining.  The dogs give it an obligatory sniff, we fetch the SD card and depart. 

This has been a fun experiment and given the persistent hostile weather conditions I suppose the additional food gave the crows and the hawk a leg-up.  I consider it morbidly grim that chicken parts were used to attract bird to the camera.  Curiously, over six days and 1944 photos there were no other bird species evident.
