For those of you who are not aware, there is a live camera perched on the roof of the Algonquin Park visitor center. It broadcasts the happenings in the valley below the observation deck year round.

Recently, they put out a moose carcass that they found in mid-December. Although the carcass wasn't touched for the first few days, activity has really picked up. So far I've seen Red Foxes, Common Ravens, Fishers, and most recently, Eastern Wolves.
The cam has this cool function where you can take a screen shot of the live feed, and I've been taking full advantage of it. The only species I haven't been able to get a decent capture of is Fisher.
Here are some of my cropped captures:

The live feed is quite fun (and addicting) to watch. It's also a great way to pass the time. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

Also, I plan to be in Algonquin on February 11th and 12th. While the main purpose of the trip is to see winter finches and Gray Jays, I'm hoping I can add a few mammal species to my life list as well!
