Last week we set up camera traps in the forest. Camera traps are a great way to 'catch' animals which are elusive and especially ones that are nocturnal. We looked at the pictures from our traps today and we caught some great shots! We caught a Snowshoe Hare, a Raccoon, a Fox and a Porcupine! Here is one of the pictures of the Raccoon. He looks so cute with his little eye patch. We actually saw a baby raccoon run across the road last night. You can see lots of wildlife from the roads.. today we saw more deer and many people have seen Bald Eagles but I always miss them. I have never seen a wild Bald Eagle so I really wanted to see one but it's okay because we've seen so many interesting animals on this trip.
I've had a really great time learning about Nova Scotia and learning some new research skills. (Here's a picture of me in the field which my mom asked for!) It's been great getting away from it all and thinking about the big picture. Sometimes it's good to step out of your normal life and go somewhere different. Every time I travel I learn something more about the world and about myself.

Thanks for the pic, Di. Looking good...
ReplyDeleteThe pic of the raccoon is cool as well.
I'm glad u had the opportunity to do these past 2 weeks. I think I learned alot about you myself. Never thought I'd see the day you were dealing with bugs! But I realize there were many other things that you learned and you ought to be very proud of yourself. It is a big world out there and so much more to discover. This was just the beginning.
