Ernie Cowan's Outdoors column
It’s such an honor to achieve a small level of recognition by having something named after you.
Two friends who are lookouts there are quite familiar with the habits of the local wildlife and regularly see gray foxes, common striped skunks, chipmunks and ringtails, along with an assortment of birds. As an example, there’s Nick, the ringtail, so named because of a nick in his right ear, and his mate is known as Gamma. Then there is Kit, their youngster, an energetic and inquisitive ball of fur with that incredibly long, banded tail.Ringtails are not uncommon, but rarely seen. They are nocturnal and secretive, although they do seem quite comfortable around people. I had high hopes of getting at least a few good photos of the ringtail on its nightly rounds.
I had enough battery power and the capacity to record 600 images, far more than I would likely need during the five days.So, off I went on another 150-mile jaunt to see what went wrong.The system had shut down because over 600 images were recorded, and the camera card was full.Rushing home, I downloaded the images and was thrilled with the results.The gray fox was always first to arrive at the water trough, followed by skunks and the ringtail.
