We had a coon move in this week. So needless to say, the feeders are being put up at night.
We found one of the smallest Blanding's Turtle this week crossing HQ road.
We had another awesome experience of a close encounter of the wolf kind.
We found some large bear tracks over by the bunker.
The Porcupine sightings are becoming more prevalent. We saw 3 of them hanging out in trees across from the visitor center.
Momma Hummingbird has moved back into Camp Chewy. Hopefully, she will have a nest here again.
We stayed up way past our bedtime this week doing a woodcock survey. We heard 6 of them. We probably would have heard more if the frogs and whippoorwills were not so vocal.
We got the pleasure of seeing not 1, but 2 American Bitterns this week driving along the refuge.
We wrapped up the week going on a Woodcock hunt. It was a new experience for us, hunting woodcocks with dogs. We found 2 broods and banded 3 chicks. It's been a great week in the Northwoods!
