What is he doing?

After being gone for three weeks I am back for a week and one of the first tasks was checking trail cams. This camera was set up in our backyard to record ruff grouse drumming times so I could set up a blind and record in HD. A variety of visitors were recorded including a red squirrel, gray fox, several deer, a ruff grouse drumming, and this porcupine. This video must represent a scent marking behavior although it is only a guess. As a photographer recording behaviors I am constantly reminded how little I know about the animal world which keeps me coming back to time and again to film new material.
