Wildlife Photos from NH Coverts Volunteers

Ken Knowlton (CC03) of Belmont sent this photo taken by Tim Hayes, a neighbor to the Belmont Town Forest, where this eagle was seen perching in fall 2009

Roscoe Blaisell (CC97) sent in these photos in Nov 2007. Says Roscoe: " While I was hunting in Vermont this weekend, a buck attacked the archery targets on my back lawn. He then had the audacity to poop twice at the scene of the attack. I will get even with that rascal!"

Chris Conrod (CC05) sent in this photo (left). Writes Chris: This is "Jilly," an orphan black bear cub rescued by Tamworth locals in September, 2007. She is with Ben Kilham (CC98) now. He de-wormed her (two quarts of roundworm) and she is putting on weight. NH Fish and Game plans to release her somewhere in the Bearcamp Valley area next year. The photo was supplied by Andrea Kennett."

Also from Chris Conrod: "Here's a wildlife pic you are unlikely to receive from anyone else. It's a red-backed vole. I think red-backs are one of our more adorable-looking rodents but they are a pain to handle in a capture-recapture study. They're very aggressive and have enough loose skin so that even when you grab them tight by the scruff of the neck they can wriggle around and chomp on your fingers. But it still beats handling red squirrels."
