Finishing Up with Summer, Getting Ready for the Winter Season

11/17/2018

Almost all of our cameras are back in from this summer, and what amazing things we found together. Thank you to all our volunteers and supporters!

Almost exactly one year ago, we sent out an email that concluded with photos of wolverines and wolves, and a hopeful wish that "one day soon we would see these two animals return to Mount Hood." HOW AMAZING that we were able to check one of these off our list this year! What we have found this season has been truly momentous and our volunteers are to thank for that.

We are finishing out the summer season with a few more beautiful shots of some of our frequent camera visitors:

We had quite a few photogenic deer visiting Camas Prairie at the end of October.

A group of 3 coyotes stuck around in time for over 100 photos to be taken! Check out the whole set on Flickr, Instagram, or Facebook! You'll also find photos of elk, marten, fox, bear and a whole lot more from throughout the summer season.

The Mount Hood Wolf Story Continues: Pictures from our wildlife cameras!

pair of wolves seen visiting one of our cameras near the Warm Springs boundary.

Although the second wolf stayed mostly behind the brush, this one provided a variety of beautiful photos.

Watch our social media pages for a complete set of photos

In early January 2018, ODFW confirmed a pair of wolves traveling together in Mount Hood National Forest. In August, the pair was confirmed to have had at least two pups (confirmed by ODFW trail cams.)

In JULY, Cascadia Wild captured these incredible photos! (Yes, July! We'll say we left the cameras unchecked so that we didn't steal the thunder from ODFW's announcement a month later!)

In these photos you can see two similarly sized individuals investigating around our camera. This is an amazing confirmation of their presence in the forest and a valuable resource in their protection (wolves are protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act in many parts of Oregon.)

We know you've already loaded up your tracking gear and started your car to go scour the area for sign, but at the moment, "the vicinity of Warm Springs Boundary" will have to suffice. (expect equally vague locations on Flikr as well.)

Follow the links below and check our Instagram to compare photos. Do you think they are the same individuals?

THANK YOU to all of our volunteers for making these pictures happen!
