Grey Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)Observer
alanrosesiaDescription
Canine appearance suspect Fox tracks, 3.5cm long x 3cm wide, 8cm trail width
Elbroch lists for Common Gray Fox front tracks:
3.5-4.8cm Long
3-4.4 cm Wide
7.6-11.4 Trail width during walk
4.8-10.2cm Trail width during trot
and for Kit Fox front tracks:
2.5-4.3cm Long
2.4-3.8cm wide
3.2-6cm trail width
The trail width measurement falls outside the range for the Kit Fox. The area has a lot of flat sandy areas which might host some Kit Foxes, but there are plenty of trees and greenery as well typical of Gray Fox habitats.
ID is Gray Fox tracks.

Common Raven (Corvus corax)Observer
alanrosesiaDescription
Not so common WHITE RAVEN, ie. leucistic. Never seen one before! Was scavenging with several other members of the flock [congress]. And yes, it hopped and gawked like a Raven. Very rare find!

alanrosesiaDescription
Front set of paws appears to be Bobcat stopping for a moment. Rained day before hence these tracks were recent, within 24 hours. Other common species such as rabbit, coyote, and javelina were found as well.
