Next are some videos of White-headed woodpeckers, Picoides albolarvatus, that were coming in and out of a snag at the top of Yuba Gap on Hwy-49. We had this camera up for just a couple of hours, as it was in a highly trafficked area.

Woodpeckers doing woodpecker things
I set this first camera on a snag in the Fir forest as a pre-class set for Codger's camera trapping course v.2013. I was really hoping to get an awesome flying squirrel coming to the snag to do awesome flying squirrel things. Instead I got a woodpecker doing some woodpecker things. You know, hopping around, pecking wood, and flying. This looks like a male Black-backed Woodpecker, Picoides arcticus. Notice the yellow patch on the forehead/crown. But remember, we suck at birding, so I could be completely wrong here.

Sierra Valley Foxes Continued
About a month ago I posted about some gray foxes in the Sierra Valley. We got pretty good shots of mom and pup. Well, I had also set an IR camera up on video at the same set, that I only now downloaded. I had forgotten it was set to video and thought it was on still image so I was not all that excited about looking at IR stills when I had the nice color homebrew pics. See I have a ScoutGuard model that has the programmer and image viewer on a remote control. I don't have a clue where my remote control is, hence how I did not know whether it was set to video or still.
So I was pleasantly surprised when I downloaded the files and realized they were videos.
But first a still shot from the next morning to set the scene a bit in your mind while you watch the videos.
These first couple of videos do a great job of showing just how little the gray foxes care about the homebrew white-flash. The homebrew gives a couple of early flashes (red-eye reduction mode) and then gives the big flash and takes the image.
I thought we had a mom and her pup. But in this video (88) it appears there are three maybe four individuals. You never see more than two at a time, but unless exits the scene at the bottom one circles back around and re-enters the scene from the top in a matter of seconds mom may have had more than one pup.
In this video one fox finds the camera and moves it around a bit.
