Sauk Mountain Pictures

(We are posting this two weeks late, due to forgetfulness.)

After venturing back up to the north Cascade region, we collected our cameras and found a single black bear.

It looked like it was smelling the red fox urine...

As for the other camera, we got footage of a squirrel running in the background.

Enjoy, the featured video "Scavenging Squirrel"

After collecting the cameras, we stayed at Canyon Creek Campground and prepared to set up the cameras the following day. Unfortunately, there had been a rock and mudslide a few days prior, blocking access to the original location off of North Cascades Highway where we were planning to go. BUT...we improvised and found a location in Pasayten Wilderness. 

Stay tuned when we post the (hopefully many) pictures and videos we get this week!

Pictures from Beckler Peak

July 19th, 2013-

We checked the camera today. Upon opening it up, we almost thought we saw a wolverine! Alas, it was the last picture of a bear we got. But still, we captured a picture of two BEARS, a mountain beaver, and at least one squirrel. For this trip, we left the camera up for 2 1/2 weeks. During setup, we were right in assuming the stripped bark next to the camera site was from bears. With the location of the camera, we presume that the bears may have ranges that intersect the nearby Wild Sky Wilderness (we were less than 1/2 mile South of the wilderness border.)

Enjoy the exciting pictures we collected below!
