the lapwing, kiewiet..wiet wiet..kiewiet..
ähh,it must be sleep already

Is almost nobody interested in this cam????
The lapwings are calling and a big dog was barking..
Has anybody seen the cam in the early morning already??

A few days ago I´ve been watching around 7 am. No Grouse was seen...

i had watched even from 5 am,no single grouse...

I have heard the lapwings, and I saw the tractor.... nothing else so far. I check if every now and then tho.

Snow on the field

Brrr.... I believed it, is a snowfall in Oregon only already!!!

We had some snow last night too.... it is gone now, but the weather is horrible..... cold and raining and windy... WHERE IS SPRING??????????? It has forgotten us

Here it has been raining since Saturday afternoon. But as the temperatures still are around 15°C it made the plants grow very quickly. It´s that kind of warm spring rain...

Here its is +3........................... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This feels colder than -30 during winter!

Crane!

Wohoo!!
It's gone now.... but what is that sound??? Like running water??

Saw this and other pics in LK, Black grouse cam. New member
Maertha posted it!

Is it wolf?

That is indeed pretty cool!!!
I looked at the other pics on LK, no doubt - that is a wolf!!!

Good morning, yes it looks like a wolf, but not too far from the cam
must be a farm, sometimes you can hear a cock crow..and:
a bigger dog barking... But yesterdayevening I heard an animal bark
only 1 time, like it was angry and someone disturbed him..could be
fox, dog or wolf... About 45 minutes later it happend once again.
A german shepherddog has almost the same silhouette like a wolf I suppose.. But I really would be happy to know
that there is a wolf...Who knows where the cam is exactly and if there are wolves in that area?

The German Shepherds of today do usually have a much more sloping back (sadly......)



So I believe it is a wolf! It has a much healthier structure and looks able to run, which you cannot say about the GS....

I have not seen anything that wuold indicate where the cam is situated, but as the grouse like the area and the cranes land there, it cannot be a bad place for a wolf either!

Edit: I enlarged the picture and added a bit more light to see if we can get the color of this "creature" to show....
It sure looks wolf colored!! (I so want it to be a wolf )

So do I! And the sound like a short barking, only short and 1 time , fits perfectly to a wolf. I have read a lot about wolves tomorrow and, yes, I believe also it is a wolf. Then it must have been there yesterday evening around midnight and before also! A shame that we cannot see the cam at the moment. Sound was very,very, low after midnight. Solar? Let's hope they can repair it very soon!

if look lk-forum last,that animal series pic,then is visible that it hold its head exactly like a wolf

The camera season has ended...

Yes, it all sounds a bit odd to me.... why did they put in so much effort to get the connection up and still they did not know that this field is going to be used by the farmer??

Maybe they had one cam too much and it needed to be used somewhere

You are probably right

So sorry that the Black Grouse Cam had to stop..I tried to find an address to ask for a video where we could see the wolf visiting the cam. I wrote an e-mail then and without blaming somebody I asked if it would be possible to show us a video of the wolf that visited the Black Grouse cam.
I must say I was happily astonished to get an honest (I believe) answer. Even a second email came with a link to some video's.
I hope we will enjoy the video's and I will send a big: "Thank You"
to "Sender"...





The cam showed us some birds and the wolf and even during the short time it worked we could learn a lot about these animals!

The videos: (can't get the video link thingy to work... )

Pretty sweet of this person to bother sending the links

This morning around 7.30 when I left home I saw these two Black grouse males in the field only about 1 km from our house.
Of course I had only my mobile phone.....
This field is their special palce and sometimes there can be really many of them there.
It is very hard to take pics tho, they are so suspicious.....

I hope to see them soon, too.
One of their courting places in the hunting area is not that far from the lodge. The only problem is that I do not know EXACTLY where it is. So maybe I will have to try and spot them from the opposite slope at first...
