The animals are stirring

Another one of those perfectly sunny spring days, cool temps & blue bird skies.  Days like this in the spring tend to draw out the critters from their hiding places.  The forest is alive with all kinds of creatures stirring and forging for food.  This morning was classic, as I drove down the Caribou Trail on my way to the office I drove up on a hungry Coyote looking for snacks and new friends.   I slowed my car down and crept up on him, he didn’t seem to be bothered by my presence one bit, until he realized I was not going to give him any snacks so he darted off the road and into the thick trees.  I continued on my way and pulled into the parking lot at the Mountain Inn.  Standing only 100ft away were two shaggy Deer snacking on the bits of grass that is starting to poke up.   The Deer are so tame this time of year you can practically ride them.  I went inside to grab my camera but was not fast enough, the deer had disappeared.    I looked out across the road at Moose Mountain and I could see six little black dots flying around…as the dots got a bit closer I could see that there were six beautiful Eagles soaring above the Ski Hill valley.  I attempted to snap some photos of the Eagles but they were still a bit too far away…however if you look really hard you can see a few of the dots in the photo…If you really want to see the critters then you will just have to come up and see the wildlife for yourself!  Until then, I will keep my camera on the ready so I don’t miss another opportunity to share these sightings with you.
