What
Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)Observer
engletonDescription
Now just a single young one with the female. Suspect the others got lost to predation.
What
Coyote (Canis latrans)Observer
engletonDescription
Think this is coyote or red fox. I noted that the stick is "about 2 inches long," but guess that doesn't help much. Will measure tracks more accurately this winter.
What
Grey Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)Observer
engletonDescription
Straw to right of track is about 1 inch long. Saw the gray fox that made this track, so fairly sure ID is correct.

What
Fisher (Pekania pennanti)Observer
engletonDescription
Young fishers. There were three: two more reddish and one brownish black. Last photo shows most clearly the shape of the head. They seemed to like piling on top of each other, as in the "ball of fishers" in the third photo.
