Cha-cha-chunk…thereβs a whole lot of chonky bears going around. Their tummies are filled with many goodies as they sneak around looking for something yummy to eat, or they just simply feast on ants and bugs on days when they are feeling lazy.

Hi Everyone!
November has been an interesting month. So far, we have been experiencing a warmer autumn than usual. The critters seem to be enjoying the warm autumn and are still very active! So, sit back and relax…grab a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the bears, coyotes, ravens, and deer videos.
Do you know that deer’s sense of smell is better than humans? They can smell humans up to a half-mile away! Also, deer are more active during the night. For more fun facts about deer, visit blogger, Scott at his website, Bird Watching HQClick here.
Here are seven best night trail cam videos of deer.
An aromatic and delicious comfort food for the chilly weather is Cuban picadillo. Itβs great to eat any time of the season. I created a vegan version of this savory dish. Cuban picadillo is a fast recipe and versatile that can be served over rice, great for tacos, beans, or sprinkled over your favorite salad.
Enjoy! Warm Regards, Debra Roinestad
