We found a Wickiup!

Several years ago we found a strange structure in a large willow thicket in the northern Sierra Nevada. It looked like a derelict wickiup or wigwam -- one of those Native American dwellings I learned about in grade school. Several dead willows had fortuitously collapsed and formed a natural dome shaped shelter. Which begged the question, did wild animals use this "wickiup" as a lair? 

We set trail cameras there in the fall of 2020 and 2021 and waited until the spring thaw to find out. This movie tells the story.
