Moose and black bear react after being caught on trail camera

This story was originally published in June 2023.

One of the main reasons Allie Ladd of Byron is so successful at producing surveillance camera videos and photos is because he knows the best places to place them.

Typically, this involves placing cameras where wildlife won’t notice them or where they won’t appear to disturb anything.

The images captured today by the Baron de Byron’s surveillance cameras seem to indicate that they were visible enough to arouse both a little curiosity and even anger.

In the first segment, a female moose walking along a trail approaches closely to sniff one of Ladd’s cameras. After being sniffed, the animal appears spooked by something and trots away.

The second item in today’s series of images proves that not all creatures are keen on being secretly filmed going about their daily routines. One animal, not in the frame, expresses its frustration by roughing up the camera. Ladd said it was a black bear.

Bangor Daily News readers continue to be blessed by Ladd’s never-ending quest for new and fascinating wildlife videos. We are grateful.
