Those tracks in the snow yesterday could have been made by the coyote seen this afternoon. Chatters call it Carl Coyote. Could be Carla, too.

Thank you for following Coyote.  Love watching his/her icy running.

January 31, 2021, approx 3:00pm --  Bird  --  Flyway

Looks like a hawk or maybe a falcon,  white line over eyes, tail's tip and under belly.
Perhaps a Cooper's Hawk?

Clarinda, I have no idea what species, but someone will know, probably on Explore.
Just now (4PM) there's a pair of BEs in the distant tree tops.

Here's a pic of the unknown bird taking off. Should help with ID.

I used the Stop-Frame-by-Frame technique to get this shot. Pause the rewind as close as possible to the shot you want. Then tap the comma key to go backwards one frame at a time; period key to advance one frame at a time.

Thanks for Tip, now if I can only remember it. LOL   Those Eagle shots were great, wish I was an artist.

That's a great pic, STL.  It's a Northern Harrier hawk.  They have that white patch at the base of the tail.  We've seen them several times on this cam.

Clarinda, the Flyway is on Highlights this morning. No idea when this beautiful pair was really here. I wish the highlights could include dates!

Thanks for the Northern Harrier ID, Clarinda and Ginger. We have seen them earlier this year, maybe December. Scroll back for pics. This visit didn't have a good view of the dark "face mask" feature.

Frosty mist overnight makes for interesting photos in the morning.
