First Day

Arrived at the cottage yesterday to a beautiful cool sunny day! Our
first day and the wildlife viewing list is starting with an
extraordinary sighting of a bear cub in the woods on a property next
door. Matthew and his friend spotted the cute little fellow while
walking along the road. I managed to get one photo as the cub ran
across the road. Where there is a cub..... Then on a walk with
neighbours Lili and John we see another cub - this time a fox cub
playing on the road. It came towards us seemingly unaware of us...
until it looked up and scooted off into the woods - again I managed to
get a few snaps. I need a longer lens for this type of photography. We
also saw a grouse and very clear tracks in the mud along the road near
the cottage from what I have identified as a "cat" but not a house cat
- the size of these tracks seem that they may be from a cougar - now
confirmed to be prospering in this part of Ontario - http://www.ontariopuma.ca
