Before the season started, M. and I had hiked over the East Ridge and replaced the batteries in the camera that I had placed a few days earlier at a tiny seep that I call Camera Trap Spring (original, eh?). The first two-day placement had produced no images at all, but there is not much water in that little valley -- something had to show up at the spring.
Today was cool and misty. Just when I was ready to head out for an evening sit at the spring, rain and thunder started. I decided to just hunt/hike over, fetch the camera, and come back.
When I reached the spring, I saw that the camera's (rechargeable) batteries were dead. That could be good, I thought.
Back home, I downloaded the pictures...

An Abert's squirrel. Multiply this image times eight or so. It was one active squirrel.
