Pictures of local wildlife with my camera traps and of the local scenery in the mountains of Virginia.

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@SeattleMaven I've using Browning cams for the last 5 years for the most part. No chance of wolves here in Virginia but the coyotes have a wide range of appearance

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

A lot of coyote activity for a 2 week period

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@crwinsor This might account for the more recent captures, this fresh carcass was 50 feet from the camera

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

It's been a while since I've check the trailcams. And I took our new pup along. Looks like this coyote and her are about the same size, just under 50 lbs.

Whitetail under the beech trees. I've noticed they like to browse the leaves on those low branches

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Coyote family at the spring beneath the beech trees

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Turkeys enjoying some skunk cabbage

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@hAl1927 Yes! A pair of owls, or maybe a younger owl and a parent

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Even farther up the creek. There's an owl in two of the captures, same spot about 4 weeks apart

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Farther up the creek this beautiful creature was captured on the trailcam

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@eviebeevie Not sure, maybe the big leafy plant skunk cabbage

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Mama and cub! Checked the trailcams for the first time in 9 weeks yesterday, I missed it.

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@therealdrspark Yep

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Finally indisputable proof that black bears will chomp on skunk cabbage. I believe this is the same bear I captured earlier this spring with the fur issue on it's backside, looks like things are getting better

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

An owl and some whitetail at the spring about a month ago

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@SeattleMaven @BrowningCams I believe it's the model BTC-5HDX set on the 16mp setting

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Got to take a hike and check some of the trailcams today

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@ysongtwitt I've seen this before with bears after hibernation, hopefully it's fur grows back

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

Believe this is the same bear I captured on two other cameras around the same time over a month ago. It's been over a month since I last checked my trailcams, hoping to check a few of them this weekend. I miss the woods

[Cam Dressel @CamDressel]

@BlaserCarol Not sure what's causing it, but hoping it's just bad hair from hibernation
