What a spot for a trail camera! We put this camera out on a small footpath this winter for the first time just out of curiosity. We do a lot of trial and error to find good spots that wolves like to use often. The little trail is pretty... close to the intersection of 3 different pack territories and we figured it might be a good place…and it was. We captured more footage of wolves and other animals on this camera that are not in this video. This video is just the highlights. Most of the other videos are at night. Notably, for every camera like this that gets great footage, we probably have 4 or 5 that are duds…and since they are duds, we don’t share that footage online!show more

This small, remote wildlife trail yielded some amazing footage of wolves and other creatures over the past year this past winter (January to May). This trail is used by both the Mithrandir Pack (hence the name of the trail) and the Nashata Pack. Both packs are in this video, and are the primary reason we have a camera here—the other neat footage of other wildlife is just a bonus! We have put cameras on many small trails like this in hopes that they are used by wolves so we can get good observations. Often we put cameras out and they are total duds or just so-so. But every once in a while, we find a gem…and this is a gem in our minds. Also, this camera was from last winter…but you will notice the scenery hardly looks like a Minnesota winter. Thats because we basically did not have winter last year. Last year was the mildest winter on record for the Voyageurs area, and we had little snow cover for most of the winter and temps were regularly above freezing. Very odd times but made getting around the woods pretty nice!

We set this trail camera on a remote wildlife trail near a beaver pond, and here are the highlights from the past year or so! Notably, we captured many more videos of wolves, bears, deer, snowshoes hares, and more but condensed it here to the best footage captured. Of course, our primary goal of setting this camera was to get footage of the wolves in the area, and that was a resounding success as we captured many observations of wolves in the Mithrandir Pack.

We put a camera here over a year ago, unsure if it would be a good spot. Always lots of trial and error with cameras when trying to find good spots where wolves like to travel. But, it was a beautiful setting in some conifers along a small creek and we figured wolves would likely would travel through this more open terrain along the creek. Turns out, this was a pretty good spot. And it wasn’t just wolves that used this scenic stretch of forest as you can see. In total, we have captured more than 1,500 videos of wildlife on this camera in the past year or so (8.3 hours of footage). Most videos are of snowshoe hares and deer but wolves (the Half-Moon Pack) cruise through the area periodically as do most of the other forest predators. This 3 minute video is just a highlight reel of some of the most interesting footage. Big thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resource Trust Fund for their continued support of our work. That support allows us to share this footage and our findings with millions of people each year!

We set this camera in a new spot last fall where a deer trail crossed a remote hiking trail. This video is a distillation of 7 months of footage totaling >2 hours. Suffice it to say, we were pleased with this spot and we hope you enjoy the footage! The camera was put up in late October. Most of the first videos captured were during the rut when several bucks were traveling on the deer trail. One buck, in particular, was a bruiser in terms of body size. And then as the rut winded down, the number of bucks on camera dwindled and does started using the trail more frequently for the rest of the fall and winter. Of course, wolves traveled on both the hiking and deer trail throughout the fall and winter. In some instances, wolves traveled down the hiking trail and then stopped to smell deer tracks on the deer trail. We suspect they were assessing how fresh the tracks were and therefore how close a deer might be. In some instances, wolves veered off the hiking trail and ventured down the deer trail, and in others, they continued down the hiking trail. Notably, we put this camera here because this is where the Cranberry Bay and Nashata Packs overlap. You can see both packs on cameras. Cranberry is the larger pack and Nashata is the smaller pack with a whitish wolf with green-ear tags. As mentioned above, we distilled >2 hr of footage into a 6 minute video. We did not include much of the nighttime footage, which was mainly of a snowshoe hare that spent a ton of time in front of the camera and deer traveling at night down the deer trail. We included most wolf footage in the video but there were a few nighttime sequences we excluded because they weren’t great quality. Interestingly, though, we did not get a ton of other wildlife on this camera other than wolves and deer.

The sheer number of different bears on this trail the past summer is amazing (>20-30 different bears?)! This is the only wildlife trail we have found in our area that consistently has this kind of bear activity. We pulled the SD card on this camera yesterday so this is hot off the press! We thought it was super cool and wanted to share as we figured folks would enjoy it as well. Oh, and bears aren’t the only animals using the trail as you can see... The wolves in the video are members of the Whiskey Point Pack and most footage is of the breeding male (bigger wolf missing top of right ear), the breeding female, and two yearlings. Most of these wolves look really thin, with their pelvis clearly visible. Summer— late summer in particular— is the leanest time of the year for wolves, and these wolves’ bodies are evidence of that. P.S.-make sure to watch to the end if you want to see some neat moose footage! Lastly, HUGE thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting our project, which allows us to capture and share footage like this.

Cool footage of the wildlife observed on a small trail over a 6 month period from last fall to this spring. In particular, we captured some great footage of the Listening Point Pack and the Mithrandir Pack on this camera. The Listening Point Pack was 5 pack members (3 adults and two pups) and these are the wolves in most of the footage in this video. You can see two of the adults (the breeding male and a subordinate adult male) several times as well as the two pups. The December 2nd footage gives a great clear view of all 4 of these wolves. In two instances, it appears the Listening Point Pack killed deer near this camera as wolves were carrying deer legs past the camera on Jan 10 and Mar 3. The Mithrandir Pack was just a breeding pair last winter. You can see these wolves on November 11 and 20, and April 15. This area is on the periphery of their territory so not surprising we did not have many observations of them in this spot. And huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for their continued support of our project. Their support allows us to capture and share footage like this with everyone on a regular basis!

The first footage of wolves eating raspberries to our knowledge! We captured this footage last summer when the Bug Creek Pack pups spent a good while foraging for berries in this patch. Of course, we have known for a while wolves eat raspberries as we have sifted through many scats full of raspberry seeds. However, we’ve never observed the behavior before. Just a few months ago, before we were aware we captured this footage, we actually published a scientific paper on the “berry-eating” behavior of wolves. The big takeaway from our study (link to study below!): based on our data, wolves foraging on berries in our area is an extremely widespread behavior and one that almost every wolf we have studied engages in when berries are abundant. We have captured trail camera footage of wolves of all ages, sexes, and social statuses (i.e., breeding or subordinate wolf) from several packs foraging on berries. All of this indicates “berry-eating” by wolves is likely pervasive across large portions of southern boreal ecosystems in places like Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec. However, given the lack of summer research on the foraging ecology of wolves in these areas, we think this behavior has just gone unnoticed. Although, there is evidence based on scats collected in these areas that wolves are foraging on berries. Now, it is important to understand why wolves eat berries and to not misconstrue this finding with the notion that wolves eat berries because they prefer berries over animal prey. Wolves do not have digestive systems that are meant to digest plant matter and berries effectively. Thus, berries are almost certainly "starvation food" for wolves; as in, the wolves are starving and berries are the best option given the circumstances to stave off hunger and slow weight loss. All this to say, wolves are not eating berries instead of other animals because they prefer berries over meat. We have no doubt that if a wolf had an option between a meal of berries or of deer/ beaver that it would choose the latter every single time. Catching deer and beavers, wolves primary summer prey, is extremely challenging for wolves in late summer, and likely requires extensive energy expenditure. Thus, instead of spending substantial energy hunting prey they likely cannot catch, wolves turn to berries, which are abundant, taste good, and likely make them feel full. In other words, all evidence suggests wolves are just eating berries to slow starvation and weight loss. Read our recent study on the “berry-eating” behavior of wolves for free here:

Cool footage of 2 bull moose sparring from just 2 weeks ago! And then toward the end of the sequence another small bull decides to join in the fun. All-in-all, some trail camera gold! We’ve only captured this on camera one other time so far. But this footage is much better than our other observation, in part, because the lighting was almost perfect in this video. Suffice it to say, we were pretty excited to capture this footage. In total, the moose were in front of the camera for 14 minutes but we condensed it down to the highlights here. A fair portion of the videos were the bulls just standing there staring at each other.

Some trail camera gold from this winter…one of the most iconic sounds of the Northwoods! VOLUME UP! These wolves are the Peatland Pack, the largest pack in our area this winter at 9-10 individuals, and they are loud when they all start howling right by the camera. We have captured many individual wolves howling in front of cameras before but this is the first “chorus howl”— where the entire pack has erupted in howling together—we have captured like this. Obviously, pretty lucky to have a few pack members set-up right in front of the camera. The main wolf that is standing up howling is the breeding female of the pack. She is easily identified via the large scar on her front left leg. Big thanks to the continued support of the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for their continued support of our work. Their support has allowed us to capture and share videos like this with everyone for many years!

On New Year’s Day, we captured this footage of the Blackstone Pack, a large, predominantly Canadian Pack, trespassing deep into the Listening Point Pack territory on the Kabetogama Peninsula. The Blackstone Pack was a large pack at the start of early winter as we had several observations of 9 wolves together. By mid-to-late winter, though, the pack seemed to have dwindled to 5-7 members. However, we do not have great data on the changes to this pack's size because the pack’s territory is predominantly in Canada. We suspect their territory is on the north shore of Namakan Lake, directly to the east of the Kabetogama Peninsula in Voyageurs National Park. The territory likely includes Blackstone Island in Namakan Lake, hence the name “Blackstone Pack”. That said, we think their territory likely includes the northeastern tip of the Kabetogama Peninsula; specifically, the area in and around Kettle Falls, meaning the pack does occupy a small sliver of our study area. The reason we have any data on this pack is because they made periodic excursions into our study area this past fall and winter, and were captured on several cameras. In total, we documented 7 such excursions with some of these excursions lasting several days. And of course, they could have made other excursions not captured on camera. On one excursion, the Blackstone Pack crossed through 3 pack territories—Listening Point, Mithrandir, and Cranberry Bay—before returning to their territory. Of course, all of this highlights why having many trail cameras is extremely helpful for understanding these dynamics. Without a lot of cameras and a lot of footage of the various packs in our area, we would have struggled to piece this all together. I.e., we wouldn’t know who the “resident” wolves in an area are, and who the “intruding” wolves are. But with enough observations from trail cameras, we can tell, based on physical appearances, which wolves belong to which packs, and that helps us make sense of the data we collect.

Interesting turn of events with Nancy Guthrie case (mother of NBC host kidnapping) The woman the FBI got the Nest camera footage from didn’t have a Premium subscription Yet without a subscription, even being disabled, it was able to record and store footage “We are tracked, they are listening, they are watching, we are being recorded” What’s happening is even if you don’t have a subscription Google is recording and storing the footage from your doorbell camera, but you can only access it without a subscription You think it’s not being recorded and stored, but it is…. Even with the camera disabled, it was recording footage and able to be recovered… “Nancy Guthrie had a Nest camera, which is owned by Google, and law enforcement initially believed the doorbell footage was lost and said Nancy Guthrie did not have a premium subscription to access video from her doorbell camera — Now, according to Google, if a Nest camera is disabled, it can still record up to three hours of event video history without a subscription. So many are wondering, why did it take so long for this video to be released? Well, it takes time for authorities to basically recover this video from Google servers, since Nancy Guthrie did not have a premium subscription that offers special features for video history. And essentially, video is continuously recorded and saved with a subscription, but without a subscription, video is saved until it's overwritten. In this case, they thought because there was no subscription, it would have been erased and recorded over because it would be sort of a continuous situation. And then that's the real issue here. Look, we live in a surveillance economy and as much as we'd like to think that we can delete things and things will go away, and there are some apps that in fact make things go away, the truth of the matter is that we are tracked, They are listening, they are watching, we are being recorded.”

For almost 2 years now, this lone wolf has hobbled around the Voyageurs area on 3 legs. The wolf’s front left foot is permanently injured/disabled for some unknown reason. We shared a post about this wolf in 2023 and since the wolf is still around, figured we would just share an update with some footage we captured of this wolf over the past year. When wolves lose the function of a back leg, they can still move around fairly quickly because most of a wolf’s power and balance comes from their front legs where most of their bulk and muscle is. We have seen many wolves on trail cameras over the year that are limping and not putting weight on a back leg that are still moving around pretty well. However, losing the function of a front leg is much more debilitating because wolves cannot move quickly without a front leg. You can see that in this video. Nonetheless, wolves are persistent and resourceful. Clearly, this lone wolf has figured out a way to find enough food to live for several years. From what we can tell, the wolf appears to be in decent body condition too. We can only guess how this wolf would find enough food. We suspect it likely does quite a bit of scavenging (e.g., scavenging other wolves’ kills, roadkill deer, beavers that have been trapped for damming up culverts, and any number of human-created food sources). During summer, this wolf could likely catch hiding fawns and beavers, both of which would not require chasing prey down. However, we do struggle to see how this wolf would kill adult deer or older fawns during the rest of the year since it is hard to imagine the wolf chasing them down.

More awesome footage of one of the most ethereal forest creatures: the lynx. We captured more daytime footage of lynx this past winter than in any previous winter, in large part, because we had many more cameras out this winter compared to previous years (had ~350 cameras out this winter). And more cameras means, we get more neat observations like these (plus higher-quality data on wolves in the area, which is the main reason we deploy so many cameras). Note: this is the 2nd video of our “best" lynx footage from this winter. See our post on Monday for the 1st video if you haven’t watched that one yet. Both have some pretty neat sequences in our opinion! Huge thanks to the >8,700 individual donors whose generosity has allowed us to deploy a large number of trail cameras and capture neat footage like this to share with everyone.

Just wanna address the controversy of this video we are just doing our best to put together a good show for the fans - and this video is out of context - all of the audience members had a great time and we even paid for the dry cleaning of anyone that ruined their clothes permanently with chum.

💯 WE JUST GOT BACK FROM ANTARCTICA, TWO OF THE SEVEN OF US LEFT! ❌ Our ICEPOWER research team traveled to Antarctica to prove that we are not alone on this planet. And we succeeded, but at what cost ... (→ → More than 70 frozen alien bodies are still in the ice: this footage will affect your psyche, WARNING. (→ → We found 3 exits beyond our planet, but I can't tell you here what we saw: so I published the video taken behind the great wall here. (→ → We found a cave that leads to the core of the Earth. 5 of our friends fell into it: we put a camera down there, and this is what it captured. (→ Beware: if you're too susceptible, I recommend passing by👇

RT 🔔 This Sunday at 1:00PM (PST) This house is known to be the most haunted in Ohio and we learned that it is a fact! What we had discovered is beyond this world and we caught all of it on camera. These locations just keep getting crazier and we can't wait for you to see! 😱

YOKO ONO: ONOCHORD, VENICE, 2004 Yoko: The world is divided in two industries. One is the War Industry and the other is the Peace Industry. The people in the War Industry are totally together. They don't have to talk to each other, even. They know exactly what they want to do. They want to go out there, kill and make money. But the people in the Peace Industry, which are us - we are so idealistic that each one of us criticises the other Peace Person in the Peace Industry. And we are always just arguing and we are wasting our energies doing that. So let's just forgive each other and see that we are in the Peace Industry and that's all that counts. Even if you are not marching for peace, just be yourself, being a florist, being a merchant, being a talior, anything. That way you're contributing to the Peace Industry. People are just concentrating on fear, confusion and anger. And therefore just for a moment, I'd like us to think about Love. In a very magical, straight way, John and I met in London and from then on we stood for Peace and Love. And when I do this kind of event. Well it is... I was inspired to do it, but I still think that I'm still with John in spirit. John and I created the country called Nutopia. Not Utopia, because there was Utopia as a concept already. And we wanted to create a new concept, so we just added N on it - Nutopia - and as a country. Well, that is the concept of a country. And we all are citizens of that country. And in my apartment in the Dakota Building, we put a little plaque on the back door, the kitchen door. It says 'Nutopian Embassy' and even now we have that. (laughs). Nutopia exists in our minds. And because of that, some people want to rebel against it. The reason some want to rebel against it is a good proof that it exists. I think that it was a terrible thing that happened in Chechnya. But we have to still keep our hopes up. And instead of giving up, we have to keep on sending the message of Love to each other. You say that I am the Ambassador of Peace. We are all Ambassadors of Peace. You are too. Everybody in this room are Ambassadors of Peace. Just the fact that we are not participating in War. The fact that we are here, and we are what we are, means that we are in the Peace Industry. All of us. John and I used to say that our apartment in the Dakota is a conceptual monastry, just for the two of us. And when we go out of the Dakota, we get so many people communicating with us, so it's very important that we had silence and quietness. And my apartment is a very small space compared to the world. And I need that for my peace of mind. You should be kind to each other. You should come together, hug each other, love each other, express our love to each other and we should make it work. We should finally create a world that is a totally an Earth for Us. So let's do it.

Without a doubt, our best trail camera capture yet: the first documented observation of a cougar with kittens in Minnesota in modern history. Turn up the volume to hear all the vocalizations. The footage, which was captured on March 25, shows a cougar with 3 large kittens while they feed on a deer they killed just south of Voyageurs National Park. We captured this surreal footage because we started a study to understand the survival and mortality patterns of deer in our area this winter. As part of that work, we GPS-collared several deer in the area in January. In late March, we received a mortality signal from a GPS-collared deer and found the carcass buried under a pile of leaves on a hillside—a tell tale sign of feline predation. We suspected it was likely a bobcat but thought, just possibly, it could be a cougar. So we put up two trail cameras on the cached deer carcass and 4 hours later, two cougar kittens returned to the kill. The entire family showed up that evening and spent hours in front of our cameras. In total, we captured 7.3 hr (435 minutes) of video footage of these animals. We will share more footage soon! Huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting the Voyageurs Wolf Project and the recent effort to understand deer survival in the area. Their support was critical to this observation—without it, we would never have captured this footage. And huge thanks to the >10,600 donors who have supported our project and enabled us to purchase trail cameras supplies. The cameras (and batteries, SD cards, mounts) we set at this kill were purchased with funds from donations.

Dynamax is getting closer to Pokémon GO, so we would like to share a small spoiler of what the Dynamax encounter will be like. We know this animation is still not finished, it seems that the red clouds and other effects are still missing, but we can already get a good idea of what this mechanic will be like. Are you excited for this? 🍞 #Datamine #PokemonGO

The largest pack in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem this past winter: the Blackstone Pack. Nice of them to give the camera a few nibbles on their way by! If you enjoy videos like this, we need your help because almost all of our trail camera work is supported by donors. This footage was literally captured because of donors. We simply need folks who enjoy such content to make a small donation ($10, $25, $50) to our project at the link below to help us cover the costs associated with keeping 350-400 trail cameras going year round. $30 purchases batteries for a camera, $200 purchases a new camera set-up. Think about it: most people regularly pay $10-20 per month for Netflix, Hulu, etc. so those companies can create endless content and make money. All we are asking for is $10-20 a year to help us cover our costs, and keep this work going so we can share it with everyone. Of course, the main point of the cameras is wolf research (and now, a little cougar research on the side) but cool footage of wildlife is a byproduct of having so many cameras out. So help us out and donate here:
