Cohasset Wildlife

We live in Cohasset, CA which is situated in the foothills of the Sierras about 20 miles NE of Chico. We have lots of wildlife but since they are mostly nocturnal we don’t see them very often. We see the results of some – namely Bears which can become quite a nuisance. We also have raccoons, Lynx Bobcat, squirrels, deer, skunks, foxes, turkeys, etc.
Keith and Joyce, our long time neighbors and friends, have a pond on their property which is about midway between five homes- about 200 yards away from their home. They had noticed that a beaver(s) had taken up residence but they were pretty shy and it was hard to get a glimpse of them. They were also curious about what animals visited the pond. They obtained a digital camera called a Cuddeback which is in a waterproof enclosure and is triggered by movement. The results were fantastic! They retrieve the pictures occasionally and enjoy the surprise pictures that result.
