On Sunday we were back for a second time looking for Mountain lions. We were really curious to see what our motion sensing birdcam caught. So we drove up Wye Mountain and then began the short hike along a game trail. It had snowed a few days before and there were a few patches of snow still on the ground, so we were looking for tracks in it.

When we came up to our birdcam we saw the the chicken we used as bait was gone. We checked the camera and found that there were 7 images on it. We took the camera off the tree and began hiking farther into the woods, we wanted to plant a timelapse camera farther out. We hiked on a slope and over some outcrops of rocks. We finally found an open area good for a timelapse camera near a dead tree with some Pileated Woodpecker holes in it. We positioned the camera on a tree and faced it looking across the slope. Then we began the hike back and left.

The motion sensing birdcam got some really good pictures, but no Mountain lions. The camera got a few shots of deer running along the game trail, and even a yellow labrador looking at the camera in the snow! I posted the pictures below. Maybe we'll have a mountain lion on the timelapse camera.
