Title: Field photos and notes 08/02/08
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on August 02, 2008, 10:38:21 PM: Spent this evening up looking for a Bear. I think that's about the only thing I didn't find. I saw a doe with 2 fawns in a clear cut and than when I was getting ready to head out I came around the corner and almost hit a Doe standing in the middle of the road. She was one of the biggest blacktail does I've seen here in Washington.

Where I was the Salmonberries, Trailing Blackberries, and the Thimbleberries were all ripe. Saw ton's of Salmonberries where I was along with the Blackberries. The Cascara and the Salal berries are still green.

Checked out a new area and came across an old peel. It was peeled about 12 feet up the tree.

About 20 yards farther down on the other side of the road a ran across a peel that looked to be from early this spring. The sap was still flowing on this one.

Same system of roads and area found 2 more peels. One that looked to be made early this spring. This one was pretty shaded and looks a lot darker than it is.

Also another older one.

Also ran across this guy on my way out. I thought about shooting it, but wasn't sure. So I let it go. I don't really like the idea of people releasing their pets. I was only about 6 or 7 feet from it when I took the picture. If I would have had I coat I probably could have caught it.
