We positioned some road killed deer on CNC property and set up a game camera nearby so we could identify what animals were feeding and making tracks near the carcasses.  Below are some photos of the critters caught checking out the carcasses.  The pictures appear different because I am re-positioning the camera and the carcasses to get good lighting and better photos.


Here is a red-tailed hawk


Below is a rough-legged hawk

Rough-legged Hawk

Below is the red-tailed hawk again but with an unwelcomed dinner guest


Below is a great-horned owl that visited the carcass on three consecutive nights



Below is a very cautious gray fox


And below is a cautious and handsome red fox.  Just bad luck with the timing and the shadow.


And finally I was able to get an eagle


And here are some eyeballs shining in the dark; they might be Jawas from Star Wars


Here is the Great Horned Owl again, carrying off a deer leg
