Diameter of a cheroot. Filled with beetle exoskeletons. A mystery.<br /><br />The scat donor turned out to be a Woodhouse's Toad, big as a softball. First one recorded on the property and only the third species of amphibian in five and half years.<br /><br />Turns out the bonus bear was scared out of its nigh-time peace by a camper I spoke to later. He reported a great crashing and breaking of juniper limbs when he left his camper twenty minutes earlier. Bears really are shy critters most of the time.<br /><br />(I also checked the bear scat for bird seed. She is not a habitué of the feeders. The raven feeder was unmolested.)John Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-60032203784081336882015-08-05T10:13:30.850-07:002015-08-05T10:13:30.850-07:00NOT fill the raven feeders?

Or is that a Sasquatch?--oh, wait a minute, the photo is not blurry enough to be an authentic Bigfoot photo....My, my, if ONLY they'd had these trail-cams around when I was a practicing teenage Sasquatch myself! What fun(and alarm!) I would have wrought!....L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
