Camera #1 points to an active stream crossing for Adobe Creek. Deer are (again) well-represented.

This despite occasional visits by turkey vultures to the deer carcass, now just bones, that has been alongside the creek since February.

Where the deer go, their predators follow. This cougar (a young one, I believe, with no tracking collar) was photographed at first light.

We also photographed a bobcat crossing the creek at the same spot at night.

Another bobcat, or possibly the same one, in daylight on Camera #2, in middle Lafferty Ranch.  Still image and video.
According the the Merlin app, the sound that catches his attention in the video is a Spotted Towhee.

Deer on the same trail.

Deer, and wildflower, in tall grass on upper Lafferty Ranch meadow.

Deer in bay laurel forest, upper Lafferty Ranch.

Finally, three birds on the upper Lafferty Ranch camera.  A (redtail?) hawk, a Stellar's jay, and a tom (wild) turkey. This is the first turkey photographed by these cameras.

No feral pigs were photographed this month, but we are starting to see their sign on the upper meadows.
