Trail of carnage following ruffed grouse predation. These remains were strewn in piles across approximately 15 yards along a trail through spruce/fir/birch woodland.
The parts left behind were:
-lots of feathers
-the crop
-the spinal column
-a short stretch of intestines (which it looks like I forgot to photograph)
Some feathers are plucked while others are shorn, which leads me to suspect a mammalian predator, possibly a red fox. However, I'm also considering that the bird was killed by one animal and scavenged by others, especially considering the long trail.
I think that the first two photos show the actual kill site, where we see plucked tail and body feathers, and nearby, a cleanly-picked spine. The last photos show shorn wing feathers at the end of the trail.
The plucked tail feathers look very clean, with little sign of damage, which initially had me thinking avian. But the shorn wing feathers are clearly mammalian.
I'd be happy to hear anyone's opinion who has more experience interpreting bird kills!

Trail of carnage through the woods. Lots of feathers, and I found the crop too, which appears to be filled with hazel catkins.

Very pregnant female spotted skunk resting next to a water bowl I leave out for wildlife. It was over 100 degrees today. She seems very tired. She got up and wandered around, hunting bugs, then came back for a nap. I think she's about to give birth. I placed a cardboard box with some towels inside it out there for her, if she chooses to use it. She gets up to hunt, but likes to come back to the water bowl.

These tracks were a question on a CyberTracker Track & Sign Certification with Jonah Evans. We spotted a pair of pelicans standing on the log next to these tracks the previous evening and returned this day to find their tracks. This was my first sighting of white pelican tracks. I had only seen brown pelican tracks previously. The tracks were in deep, soft mud, so our crew built a platform of sticks to support participants getting out to see them during the certification. For many of us, these were one of the biggest highlights of a weened filled with many highlights.

In a wood duck nesting box on a lake. Seem to match photos of wood duck eggs found online. I'm told that this layering of the egg shells indicates the chicks hatched out naturally (versus being predated upon)

Queen bee who seems to be maintaining access to a couple abandoned chipmunk holes on the north side of the house, just outside of the roof dripline. Large diversity of nearby spring-flowering plants.
Behavior has been happening for about 5 days. I imagine a nest is in the works.
