Several kids are among the recent trail camera photos prompting me to compile the safety tips found at the end of this post. A first bear sighting after a season of hibernation: As you can see, the backyard ravine where this motion-activated trail camera sits is a wildlife corridor, a sort of passageway for countless…

This set of trail camera photos features, among other things, playful growing bobkittens, a running bear, a gorgeous coyote, deer encounters with other species (raccoon and bobcat), and the silhouette of a bobcat with squirrel prey in its jaws.

If so, I think bobmama may be seen defending her babies! The shots after 2:27:10 are exactly what the trail camera captured (none excluded). There is…
