Setting and Checking Cameras

Set a camera here hoping salmon will swim this far up this stream, and I will catch bears fishing for them in a couple months. There is a well-used animal trail following the bank on the right side of the picture, and another trail crossing the creek by the big rock, so I should get some action before the salmon show up.

Set another camera here to catch the bears and other critters that use this log to cross the stream. If salmon fill up this stream, I should get a lot of bald eagles here, too.

I’ve had a camera here for about a year; it’s a good feeding area during the growing season, but action was a little slow over the winter.

Last fall and winter I had this camera set to record video; you can see them here:

This has been my best camera location in this area; the camera is now set to record videos.

Skunk Cabbage Patch

I had a camera here a few years ago, until the tree I was using for the camera fell down during a storm. This is the first set of pictures taken since I decided to try this location again. At the bottom of this post, I included a link to an album on my Facebook page with earlier pictures from this spot.

Pictures from the first time I had a camera here.

Checking Cameras

Headed out before a -3.7′ tide, which was a good excuse to take the long way to my destination so I could check out the marine life and look for abalone.

The first camera I checked wasn’t getting much action, so I moved it to a location nearby where some trails meet at a creek.

This camera has been here for several years, and has produced some of my favorite pictures.

I had a camera here years ago, until the tree it was on fell down. This trip was the first time I checked it since deciding to give it another try; it’s now set to record video.

This camera was one of the first cameras I set in this area, it’s been a good one for capturing images of the local wolf pack.

I had a camera here for a few years, but took it down a couple years ago to try new places nearby. The original spot was more active, so I set one here again.
