Without a doubt, our best trail camera capture yet: the first documented observation of a cougar with kittens in Minnesota in modern history. The footage, which was captured on March 25, shows a cougar with 3 large kittens while they feed on a deer they killed just south of Voyageurs […]
If you value and enjoy the research and outreach we do (like the first ever footage of cougar kittens in Minnesota…some more footage here!), please support the project this year by donating to our annual fundraiser at the link below. This annual fundraiser is critical to all of the work […]
The breeding pair of the Birch Bark Pack are a grizzled, old duo as you can see in this footage from last winter. The female is the smaller almost whitish-gray wolf and the male is the larger, rugged-looking wolf. Hard to know how old they are but we would suspect […]
Some great looks at the Whiskey Point Pack from December. We put out this camera this fall in a small rocky ravine where a creek flows out of a large beaver pond complex. First time we’ve had a camera here and turned out to be a gem. In just the […]
Two observations of big kitties recently—one in late August of last year and the other in late September. Not sure if they are the same kitty or not but first one looks a bit bigger than the second one. Anyway, we had 4 cougar observations last year: one in May, […]
Neat footage from a small trail last summer in the Blood Moon Pack territory. Cool to see a cow moose with twins, something we have only captured a few times on camera (though we did capture 3 instances of this last summer…will share that soon)! Morning temperatures for much of […]

Shortly after wolves abandon a den, we often observe many other animals checking out the den or spending time around it. This footage shows a few examples from this past spring. In our area, wolves regularly move their pups to new dens, and we have had several packs use 4-5 […]
Beavers are critical prey for wolves in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem for a 7-8 month period of time, roughly April to October/November…i.e., when ice on lakes and ponds is largely absent. Beavers likely constitute, on average, ~30-40% of all biomass wolves obtain from predation during this period. That said, we […]
Well, thats not something you see everyday!
