Minnesota Trail Cam Photos

Last spring I noticed a couple of wooducks feeding under one of our bird feeders. I decided to put out one of my trail cameras out since I was not using it to scout deer at this time of the year. A week later I check the trail camera SD card and was amazed at how many wooducks were at the feeder. The picture seems a little out of focus but it is just that the ducks are in a feeding frenzy and are moving so fast. What a joy to watch.

8 hen pheasants and 2 roosters in one trail camera photo.

This piebald deer has been around my hunting stand for the last 3 years. To my knowledge, has never had a fawn. I asked the neighboring hunters not to shoot her in the hopes that she would be able to pass on her genes. The picture was taken on my trail cam in Pine County July 2020.

Turns out, around dinner time.

We just put out our feeder after seeing a Ruby-Throated hummingbird the other day but the range of these little guys isn't even east of the Rockies and somehow he made it to MN. Taken close to nightfall on May 16th.

Here's a picture of a Western Tanager at my jelly feeder in rural Sleepy Eye. Looking at the range maps for this bird it looks like he is a long way from home.

I saw this bird on my way into work this morning and he was unique enough that I stopped and took these photos. I am guessing the storm displaced him.
