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

Coyote With Injured Front Paw, 11/24/24
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?
Coyote With Injured Front Paw, 12/20/24
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.
Coyote with Rabbit (?)
Looks like a rabbit to me, but I could be wrong:

I live in RPV! I thought the scenery looked a lot like home…what neighborhood are you in?
Also, do you have your triggers on motion sensor? Do you get a lot of false triggers? Thanks.
Right now I'm triggering strictly on motion, and alerting on triggers, so I get a ton of false positives:
I tried installing CPAI a while back, but it was really unstable, so I uninstalled it. I may try it again, and using it to Alert only on animal/human detection.
One of "my" coyotes died a few weeks back, and I found it on a trail about 1/2 mile from my cameras:
A lot of folks around here consider them a nuisance, and I consider them a danger to my own cats, but it's hard not to feel sad when you've been watching them daily. I didn't turn it over or examine the body, but I didn't see any obvious trauma, and it's clearly not a starvation death.
County picked up the carcass, and I've asked if they checked/recorded the gender, and whether or not they tested for poison, but I doubt they'll get back to me, since they're overworked and understaffed. TBH I'm surprised they actually picked it up, given that it's not on a public street or a hazard to anyone.
I am still seeing 2 adults (instead of 3) nightly on my cameras, so I'm wondering if this was one of the mated pair, or their offspring.

Bzzzz:
For some reason the bumblebees like to investigate my cameras. They certainly don't look or smell like flowers, so maybe they're attracted to some noise or electromagnetic field. ???

Great Horned Owl on Thoroughbred Trail 06/10/25
Hello!
I haven't seen owls on my camera in a few months, so it's nice to have an appearance.
