What I Did Yesterday

This morning I got up got dressed ate some breakfast watched some TV while I was eating breakfast then I got ready and left for dads place.

On my way to dads place I stopped by and got my trail camera that I had set up on a stop where I knew an otter was hanging out at. I looked to see if there were any thing on the SD card and it looked like there were some things on there. I could not watch the videos till I got on the computer at home, but I could see how many videos were on the SD card.

Once I got home I went up stairs to look at the videos on the SD card and do a few other things.

Once I got on the computer I put the SD card in and looked at the videos. Most of the videos were of the river otter, but I did get a video of a varied thrush and I also got one video of a feral cat.

After that Rowan made lunch and we went down stairs and ate lunch.

After lunch I went up Gavan hill and looked around to see if there was a spot that I might want to set up my trail camera. While I was looking around in the forest for a spot to set up the camera I found some semi old deer tracks and I also found a couple of semi old deer bed.  The deer tracks that I was following led to the beds.

After I looked at the beds I went up into a different spot in the forest and looked around a bit. When I was on my way out of the part of the forest I found some blood in the snow at the base of a tree. I did not see any tracks by the blood, but there was quite a bit of bark at the base of the tree. I looked at the blood for a few minutes then I crossed the frozen bog and started my way up the hill on the other side. As I was working my way up the I found a few more drops of blood at the base of a tree. There was only three or four drops, but there was no bark on the snow. I went up the hill a little further and ran into a few more drops of blood at the base of a tree. I looked looked around a little bit and found some more drops of blood at the base of some trees. As I looked I noticed that the more bark that was at the base of the trees the more blood there was, but I also noticed that there were no tracks at the base of the trees where the blood was, and there was also no feathers or hair at the base of the trees where the blood was, and in all but one spot the blood was a the base of a tree, and all the blood was frozen

After I had looked at the blood for a bit I started my way back and I found some tracks in the snow that I thought might be marten tracks. They looked to big to be a squirrel and they did not look like the cats tracks that were up there. They started at the base of one tree and ended at the base of another tree. The way the tracks were placed was it looked like the heals of the two hind feet were pointed outward and the toes of the two hide feet were together, and the two front feet about six inches in front of the hind feet and an inch or two apart. All the tracks that I saw were like this and there was about a foot in between each set of tracks.

After I was done up on Gavan hill I headed home.

Once I got home I went up on the computer and did some stuff until it was time to do the paper route then I left to do the paper route.

  1. Question where did the blood come front?
  2. Question what made the tracks?
  3. Question what question am I going to ask in my next blog?                                          The mystery tracks One of the spots with quite a bit of blood and quite a bit of bark at the base of a tree.

    what a mystery to try and solve — how would blood get there without any tracks in the snow around it and why is the bark off the tree?
