BIG Owl on my Trail

Coyote With Injured Front Paw, 11/13/24



Traveling in a group of 3, so if s/he's lucky, the family will share food.

This is 11 days after the injured coyote first showed up on my cameras, so clearly it's surviving. It doesn't look emaciated, so it's eating. I doubt it can hunt like that, so are the other helping it with food?
 
Ground squirrel?

It's been 5 weeks since this injured coyote initially crossed my cameras, and for the first time s/he seems to be putting a little bit of weight on it. I cut ~30 seconds of dead time between the two animals, but these two are definitely traveling together, and I see the injured one with 1 or 2 companions very regularly.
