Wildlife Predation and Scavengers

While driving around our cabin property last week I discovered the kill site of a young deer. It was obvious that the deer had been killed by a predator and I had some suspicions as to which one. I placed a game camera next to the kill site and confirmed a large coyote in the area.

This deer was too much of a meal for the coyote and other animals were more than happy to help cleanup the leftovers.

Most Turkey Vultures in this area have migrated south for the winter but this one was glad to help with the cleanup.

Several hawks have visited the site.

Crows and ravens are regular visitors.
