This channel, MA Wildlife Cams, represents a growing collection of wildlife trail camera video from Massachusetts. The majority of this wildlife trail camera video was filmed near the Saugus River in eastern Massachusetts north of Boston. I use a variety of trail cameras to record the wildlife video. Details can be found in my video descriptions. All animals are wild and in their natural environment in the suburbs north of Boston.

Wild Birds Eating Acorns and Bugs on a Log Pile!
In this video I placed a wildlife trail camera next to a log pile to record birds and chipmunks eating acorns and bugs! I recorded several different types of birds and other wildlife.
In the woodlands of Massachusetts, blue jays play a significant role in the ecosystem by consuming and dispersing acorns. These birds are known for their intelligence and their ability to store food for the winter months. Blue jays collect acorns from oak trees and hide them in various locations, a behavior known as "caching." Many of these acorns are not retrieved, allowing them to germinate and grow into new trees, thus aiding in forest regeneration. By spreading acorns over large areas, blue jays contribute to the growth of oak forests throughout the region.
In addition to acorns, blue jays and other bird species in Massachusetts woodlands rely on insects as a vital part of their diet. Birds like woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches forage for bugs hidden under bark, on leaves, and in decaying wood. Insects such as caterpillars, beetles, and ants provide a rich source of protein, especially during the breeding season when birds need extra nutrients for raising their young. Birds' foraging habits also help control insect populations, which is beneficial for the health of trees and the overall forest ecosystem.
Other birds, such as turkeys and woodpeckers, also consume acorns, which are rich in fat and nutrients. These birds often compete with squirrels and other animals for acorns during the fall. While blue jays are known for their food-storing behaviors, woodpeckers often rely on the abundance of insects they find in dead or dying trees. The varied diets of birds in Massachusetts woodlands help maintain a balanced ecosystem by regulating insect populations and ensuring seed dispersal, contributing to the overall health and biodiversity of the forest environment.

Did you know..... you can determine if a spotted fawn is a buck or doe. If there are spots oriented in a straight line, It's a buck and if the spots are random, it's a doe. He's generally it's on the top or second line on the young bucks.
A doe just brought in her fawn for the first time this year to our yard last night. Soon there should be others following their moms in to visit.
more fawn videos on the way... Stay tuned!
Beautiful animal.. lil’ girl.❤️
Amazing. And what the heck attacked that raccoon. I used my Merlin app and it says is was a Common Grackle.
Nice. I love watching beavers at work!
Excellent advice. Thanks!
