When spring rolls around I’m always excited to see if past animals will again visit. Sometimes they seem to disappear for seasons on end, especially foxes, coyote, and bobcats. I wonder if they’ve moved to a new territory or perhaps didn’t survive the winter.

So I was quite happy to see Baby Porcupine, who is now a year old, rumbling down the trail and crossing Porcupine Bridge like an old pro. 😊

@danmccullough I love the porcupine bridge.

Same! With the baby returning, maybe it needs to be named! 😀
@TimKStanton @alexhaist True. Especially since I’m hoping there’ll be a new Baby Porcupine this year.

@alexhaist There is some importantly maintenance that happens. Sometimes the leaves fill up the stream and the water overflows the banks and gets redirected. I don’t think, oh no! my backyard will be flooded, rather oh no! the porcupines’ paws will get wet!

But it’s a happy chore to do. And a happy place to be. 😊
