Critters! Who’s Out and About in Schmeeckle?

by Chris Thompson

Following a year or so of capturing images at Moses Creek Meadows, the Friends trail cameras have been moved to Schmeeckle Reserve for the spring. With a few recent reports of a coyote sighting in the reserve boundaries, the hope was to catch the wily creature on the prowl. After just a couple of days, we got a couple of pictures. Along with the coyotes, the cameras continue to get daily pictures of our regularly seen Reserve inhabitants – deer and squirrel. As the days get longer and weather warmer – hopefully we will get a glimpse of more of Schmeeckle’s furry residents.
