 Porcupine in a tree

We could see the porcupine from the road but I walked in to take this shot.

High up in the tree

  6. It's high enough in that tree that you can't get too close, which is a good thing! Nice catch.

  11. You are full of surprises these days. I think I've seen porcupines in the wild in my youth, but am not sure and I surely have never seen one up in a tree! Fantastic photos! By the way, what's that spiny thing sticking out of your head?

  25. Well, that's not something you see every day. I didn't even know they could climb a tree. You must live in a wild area with all the different critters you find.
