This morning my phone went off with a series of 3 images snapped by my cellcams which serve as my security system at my weekend place.

ł have heard rumours of Bear frequenting the backside of the hill ł am on, now ł believe ł have a photo of one walking up my Drive.

Also attached are some pictures of damage to some trees ł believe to have been Bear on my land last spring.

Congrats on the bear picture.

I believe your tree damage was caused by a pileated woodpecker searching for insects. The damage has no claw marks I could see, was too high up the tree and the tree looked damaged by insects and dead.

Bear marking would look like this and not circular into the tree with chips taken out laying in a pile under the damage. Hope this helps you out, and you'r able to secure more pictures of your visitor soon

Wood peckers didn't knock those trees down in in under 5 days.

Read this last year.

Was going to say the same thing as Salmon Run. Especially that pic with the pile of chips on the ground.

This tree scratching could be from porcupine and not only from a pecker.

Come on man. You are better than that. Squatches don’t scratch- they uproot and replant (upside down)trees of that size.

I would wager a fair amount that the trees were 1) rotten 2) worked on by a pileated woodpecker 3) taken down by a combination of wind & gravity.
