We had a lot of action on the Nature Watch camera in January, but not so much since. I think it might be because of the massive amount of snow we have gotten. When I look at the earlier photos there was almost no snow on the ground, which made it easier for the bunnies, mice, and coyotes to find food. The snow is now anywhere from a foot to 3 feet deep. We sometimes see some bigger tracks and the rows of mice tracks under the snow – but they are less and less. This is the first deer we’ve captured on the camera and are pretty excited to see this beauty!
We are thinking these are deer tracks, but they could be coyote. The dogs love sniffing and following them!
So here’s an example of how deep the snow is. The first photo is from January, the second February, and now March. Our poor monkey might not make it!
Manny came to help me get the video card from the camera. I had to make a trail for him, so he could make it through the snow. I think this video is hilarious, he looks like a giant!

Here’s a bunny, he’s eating some of the grasses that were still above the snow. I am hoping the Spring comes before the animals get too hungry.
