The Red Rocket

Sunny with the temperature reaching a scorching high of 28F yesterday. 

Positively tropical!
 
Doggo and I ran the trail camera trap line; consequently she got a minimum 1 mile round-trip run under her collar.    Poor Pupper has had a bad case of cabin fever during the recent polar vortex with brief outside time to perform her business and occasionally get a quick dose of the zoomies.  

In case you’re wondering about all of the tracks in the snow; none of those belong to anyone in the household. We’ve been home bound for about a week on account of the extreme cold. Some of those trails look like woodland superhighways.  And they’re all critter tracks.  Mostly whitetail but also raccoon, possum, turkey, fox, weasel and coyote. Maybe a ditch tiger too. 

You’ll note Ruby taking a deliberate slide at the 28 second mark in the video. Not much escapes her nose and that’s to check some fresh coyote spoor. 

The video ends with big, fresh canine turd.  Didn’t look wild. Maybe from a local trailing hound?

Anyway, I’ve had an unusual spate of technical fails on the cameras lately. Will be interesting to see if they’ve been debugged and what, if anything, we got pics of. 

Stay-tuned….

On The Run

A rare daylight trail camera capture of a coyote.

Does he appear frantic to you?

A couple of moments later a trailing hound shows-up.

Interloper

Not my dog.

Someone's been running hounds - for fox or coyotes maybe?

This is definitely a trailing hound...

Things might get a bit tense with the canines if someone's running dogs across the property and the girls are doing their thing.
