Hooded skunk. Set up for a little camera trapping last night. Have lots of ideas for this season, but keeping it simple for starters. We have two hooded skunks, and as of the night before, I can now confirm that we also have two stripped skunks – they were making a lot of noise! On occasion, we see a spotted skunk as well, but infrequently. The hooded and stripped pretty much ignore me now if we cross paths on the property.
Another one from my quick session in the lower blind Saturday night at the Desert Photo Retreat.
From now to December 15th we are offering 20% off all our fine art prints at our new website! This even includes metal prints which not only are rich in color, but arrive ready to hang. No need to mat and frame, just hang. And they are extremely durable, you can even wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth if they do get dusty. Plus, there has never been a better year to support the small business / artist, I know it is what we are doing this year. Thanks!
Funny, when growing up in Alaska I used to always hear the advice that if you ran into a brown / grizzly bear, you should climb a tree, but if it is a black bear, don’t bother. As the advice used to go, unlike black bears, brown bears had claws too long for them to climb trees.
Well I have seen so many brown bears over the years way up in trees to know that this advice is completely wrong. But, we have learned so much over the years Back then I was told grizzles and brown bears were two different species which DNA testing has since proven false. The bears in the interior of Alaska are smaller because of the more limited food source, not because they are a different species. Turns out, having access to high calorie salmon is helpful in growing big.
This was a sow with a couple of young cubs way up in a spruce on a rainy day this past June. Here she is watching a boar on the ground below. I will say, I haven’t seen any of the huge boars climbing trees so maybe they can’t. This probably isn’t lost on the sows.
