Most of my animal and bird spotters are seeing next to nothing. I did see a bald eagle eyeing the traffic and the water at highway 595 and 11-17 thursday morning about 10am.

Yesterday I noticed a very large pile of bear shit or dung. Away it was about 6-8 inches high by 4-6 inches wide about 20 feet from Dawson Road and Townline Road on the north side. Lots of dead skunks on the road. Try not to hit them as they smell really bad.

Lots of chipmonks on the road lately. watch out for them too. I had to stop as I crossed the Whitefish bridge at Hymers on saturday as 2 squirrels were chasing each other around the road.

My friend Jen tells me saw a mother and baby fox near the US/Canada border crossing begging for food as well as a large bear on highway 608 last wednesday.
