Alder tree view

We hae been thinking about cutting down our alder grove since we bought the house.  Well they finally got in our way of the view and will make good firewood for next year.  They will grow back. 

below is a before shot:

and here is the after shot:

This is a time lapse video of the trees disappearing:

Game Cam

Suzi spoiled me this year and got me a game cam for my christmas present. 
(I think it is as much for her as me)
Anyhow, we set it up out on a trail out back in the woods and this is some of what we got. 

I set it up low figuring I might get some coyote action along this trail.  Gator was kind enough to pose for me to see if it was set right.  Note Suzi is in the upper left corner.

below is one of last years baby deer.

 Then today I noticed this shot:

Here is a zoomed in shot of the same photo: my first thought... cougar? (we have a baby deer missing, and the coyotes quit howling around the same date as this shot)

Upon further scrutiny from the next shots I think it is a bobcat...  what do you think?

note the racoonesk stripes on the front leg of this blury shot:   zoomed in.

the tail looks awful short

same shot as above just zoomed in:

We are looking forward to bringing our new toy camping.
