1988 was a big year for Ohio wildlife: peregrine falcons began nesting in Toledo, white-tailed deer became the state animal, and a new law strengthened protections for threatened species. It also marked fish kills, lost butterflies, and new discoveries. #OhioWildlife #OnThisDay #Conservation #Nature

My newfound trail cam addiction reveals to me a world I had not anticipated. I knew there were plenty of deer and raccoon in this 16K acre nature preserve.
But I did not anticipate fox and coyotes.
This playful fox eating a moth for a snack is hard to beat.

I've been hearing a male turkey calling in the woods behind the college lately. I got to meet him in the parking lot this morning. This is a block away from Belden Village mall in Canton! #ohiowildlife #wildturkey #ohio #wildlife

Look at these adorable Red Fox pups—and their watchful parent—captured by Lola Pryor in Marion County! Fox pups stay with their parents for 4–5 months, learning to hunt and survive. For their safety, we won’t share the location.

"Oh wow! There's a cute bunny in the back yard!"
"... no, wait. It's just an enormously fat squirrel."

I spotted this #redfox as I was driving to a wildlife area to play with my camera yesterday. She had been curled up asleep near the road - check out the frost on her fur!

Pink turtlehead can reach 6 feet in height. Works best in full sun with medium-wet soil to standing water. Can tolerate some shade in morning or late afternoon. Pair with marsh milkweed, obedient plant and other moist soil tolerant species. This photo was taken before our beds filled in. This bed also has foxglove penstemon and showy blackeyed susans.

Redtail having a little snickysnack in our front yard. 1 of 4 (2 mated pairs) in our neighborhood. One of the things I love about the native scapes we are creating is we get to see nature in action! #OhioWildlife
Coyote in the snow last week. Unusual to see her in the daytime, but Coyotes are becoming more active as mating season begins.
