American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos)Observer
csescDescription
The day started off chilly reaching 10 degrees. By noon the temperature topped off in the mid 20's. There had been two crows sitting in the trees across the street from my house. When I went out to take a picture there was only one. This one crowing sounded as if it was calling to the other crow which wasn't there anymore. The lone crow sat in the tree for almost an hour before it left on its own.
There was a slight wind and the clouds were overcast.

What
Coyote (Canis latrans)Observer
csescDescription
It was a Saturday afternoon. The sun was shining threw the trees as we ascended Coney Mountain in the Adirondacks. The temperature was approximately 23 degrees Fahrenheit and it was a completely silent day, besides the trees cracking. The wind was blowing easterly as we were climbing the windward side of the mountain.The wind increased as we nearer the summit.
The track is what I believe is a coyote track but I am not 100% positive. The thing that threw me off is that the track looked as though it didn't sink threw the snow. This leads me to believe that the animal was of lighter weight as the snow was fresh from the previous nights snow.

The wind was blowing easterly as we were climbing the windward side of the mountain.
I was able to spot rabbit tracks crossing in and out of the footpath. These tracks were not fresh as I noticed snow from the previous nights fall covering the actual indented print. I did not actually see the rabbit.

What
Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)Observer
csescDescription
A flock of 8-10 adult and juvenile turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) scattered into the woods from a side lawn as we approached a cousins house. It was 25 degrees Fahrenheit with a light snow falling and a steady breeze. If it wasn't for the truck approaching the flock would have stayed put and finished eating the longer sprigs of grass that are still visible. The house is situated on a wood line (the second photo attached) and the turkeys typically take cover in the woods and trees when approached by a predator than return to the lawn for food.
