Coyote captured on camera

Several students in the Principles of Natural Resource Management class conducted a month-long survey of wildlife  using motion-activated digital cameras stationed at various locations in the RU EcoPreserve.  The resulting images revealed an abundance of deer (Odocoileus virginianus), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), feral cats (Felis catus) and raccoon (Procyon lotor) throughout the Preserve. They also captured photos of a pair of coyotes (Canis latrans) at one of the camera stations (see photo above).
