Red Fox in Udall's Cove, Queens, NYC

More pictures of the red fox from my study area. This so far is the only publically photographed red fox documented in Queens, NYC outside of Alley Pond Park.




 It looks like he has a meal in his mouth here:

Unknown Animal

This animal was photographed on my trail cam recently.  I am unable to determine what it is. Based on the camera positioning and location of the animal I believe it is too big to be a cat. It clearly isn't a raccoon. The tail doesn't seem to match a fox. This isn't a location where dogs would be unlikely to roam. It's inconclusive, however the tail size and shape does seem to match this: Link

Raccoon Remains

I recently came across these scant remains of what appears, based on the color and fur type, to be raccoon. These were found less than 50 yards from the scat finding I wrote about last month. This isn't necessarily related to a coyote, but I thought it was an interesting find nonetheless.
