faunascope: MOST RECENT
http://www.faunascope.com/faunascope/most-recent
The natural world you rarely see. February 28, 2010. To spot a fox. listen for the crows. It's 6:30 in the morning. I'm out of bed at the insistence of my 20-month old toddler, squawking in the next room. He demands a glass of milk. We both shuffle into the kitchen. As I'm rooting in the fridge, another part of my brain is registering the raucous cries of our resident horde of crows. I think to myself, "Gee, the crows and hawks are squabbling awfully early this morning.". June 18, 2010. Several months ag...

The natural world you rarely see. Laquo; January 2010. June 2010 ». February 28, 2010. To spot a fox. listen for the crows. It's 6:30 in the morning. I'm out of bed at the insistence of my 20-month old toddler, squawking in the next room. Suddenly my boy, at the picture window, shouts "Fox! Sure enough, I look out the window in time to see an orange fox trotting along the edge of our yard with the crows haranguing him! So why do crows track and harass foxes and coyotes?

faunascope: Eastern Bluebird
http://www.faunascope.com/faunascope/eastern-bluebird
The natural world you rarely see. May 21, 2008. Eastern Bluebirds, Spring Nest. Today we'll begin following a pair of Eastern bluebirds that started their nest at the beginning of May. Actually, it would be more precise to say that the female started the nest. Among bluebirds, the females are the ones who handle nest construction. Typically this takes 4 or 5 days. If we inspire you to learn more about bluebirds, or you want to see pictures of them outside the nest, see Sialis. May 23, 2008. May 30, 2008.

The natural world you rarely see. June 17, 2008. A big green moth I've never seen. The other day I found this large green moth, about 5 inches long, on my front door. Have you ever seen one like it? In my next post I'll identify it for you. Posted at 08:16 AM in Insects. June 24, 2008. Answer: It's a luna moth. The big green moth I mentioned in my previous post. Turns out to be a male luna moth. Turns out that it loves hickory trees, and I happen to have 3 shagbark hickory. Trees in my front yard.

faunascope: Beaver jackpot!
http://www.faunascope.com/faunascope/2010/06/beaver-jackpot.html
The natural world you rarely see. Laquo; To spot a fox. listen for the crows. Sharing a tasty branch ». June 18, 2010. Several months ago I learned of a nearby pond where a family of beavers had taken up residence. I thought this might be a great place to try out my latest homebrewed camera trapping rig that captures video and audio. A property owner graciously allowed me access and I set up my gear at the water's edge. I guess like all engineers they're interested in any gadget they come across. :-).

I thought this might be a great place to try out my latest homebrewed camera trapping rig that captures video and audio. A property owner graciously allowed me access and I set up my gear at the water's edge. I thought it might be hard to attract the beavers, so I brought some freshly cut black birch and chokecherry branches, along with some scent lure. This cli...
