September 1, 2022 – Porcupine Visitor
This guy has turned into a daily visitor. Some days he eats an apple off the ground. Other days he climbs the tree to get the one he wants.
February 21, 2022 – Tracks at Quincy Bog
I’m glad someone knows where they are going!
April 1, 2020 – Ice Out
The ice is mostly gone and the Quincy Bog beavers are once again active.
It is a still night as this reflection belies.

This inquisitive doe checking me out in the yard this morning.
Yes, I can still see you “hiding” behind the woodpile.

On an early morning trip up Ellsworth Hill Road, encountered this gangly creature crossing the road.
July 3, 2017 – Special Porcupine Post
This guy or gal deserves a separate post.
Our daily visitor was this porcupine.
“Fred” would lazily walk around the cottage, munching on things found on the ground.
Fred did not seem concerned, even if we approached as though he thought his defense system was adequate.
May 5, 2017 – Foxes and Rainbows
A few weeks ago we saw one fox in the meadow behind the house. Then tonight we saw two foxes. A few days later we saw a baby fox in the driveway. Very reminiscent of our first summer on the Iowa farm where a den of foxes lived under the corn crib. Here’s just a few seconds of video before the fox dragged a rodent out of the ground and ran away.
A few days later there was a rainbow. Coincidence? Heck yes.
August 3, 2016 – Moose on the Loose!
Here’s the view from our backyard – Stinson Brook is at the edge of the trees.
And on this day so is a moose!
Here she is zoomed in. Now the moose on our license plate is legit since we saw a moose from our house.
