When I rewatch my trailcam videos I occasionally spot something I missed the first time.
Watch our little porcupine. After being startled by something toward the bottom right…
QUILL MODE DEPLOYED
And if you crank the volume you can actually HEAR THE QUILLS going up!
And then she crosses the bridge still powered up. 🤗
(video from Nov. 2025)
If you’re traveling this week, remember to stop at all crossings and look both ways before…
None of which the Little Porcupine has to deal with.
Mother Porcupine has grown quite large so my wife is planning on widening #PorcupineBridge to accommodate Mom’s… ampleness. 😊 In the meantime, enjoy a large porcupine carefully going across a bridge so she doesn’t get her paws wet. 🥹
Shenanigans at #PorcupineBridge! Keep your eye on the left side of the screen where the little stream is. Right away you see 2 little eyes bopping along in the water coming right at you. Now look to the bottom right to see it continuing, hopping to the right, then, like a laser, darting back and straight into a plant, loud enough to draw the porcupine’s interest! 🫨 I slowed down the end of the video to see it clearer.
Jumping Mouse, perhaps?
Seems we had a family “tiff” at #PorcupineBridge. Having watched it a few times it seems youngster wanted to nurse and Mom wasn’t much into that? 😂
(Turn up volume for maximum porcupine opinions.)
It seems we have a bold one! Baby Porcupine (more like Toddler Porcupine) ventured out without mom, during the day. Maybe it’s just practicing going over Porcupine Bridge but I think this one is going to be a HANDFUL. 😂

This is an important PSA (Porcupine Service Announcement)
Baby Porcupine has crossed the little bridge for the first time! Mom taught it well. 😊

MAJOR UPDATE at Porcupine Bridge!
There is a baby. Repeat. There is a baby.
This is Porcupette’s first appearance on the trailcam and Mom is showing the ropes. But Baby seems… a little hesitant to cross the bridge. 🥹 And then the recording ends. Supply your own ending! 🤗

Okay, show of hands… how many of us have wondered how a porcupine scratches an itch?
Wonder no more! Our ambling little friend had the courtesy to stop, turn its back to the camera, and demonstrate, before continuing on to cross #PorcupineBridge. 🤗
In case you were wondering if the porcupine was still using the little bridge my wife built…
Yes, yes it is. 🤗
