Wow. Wild area. We have coyotes here. Seldom seen. A rare occurrence, once a guy walking dogs here, had a sick coyote stalking his dogs on leash. Had to fight it off. Good to be aware of what's around you. Looks like you are.

I had to pick up dead cat in my front yard yesterday morning that a coyote got ahold of.  He could have had the courtesy to at least eat it instead of just chewing it in half. Coyotes are everywhere here in suburban Los Angeles . We have them on my cul de sac every night and my neighbors are too stupid to bring their cats in at night.

Exactly why our Annie is an indoor cat.  I have only seen one coyote here in 20 years- it walk right past my sliding glass door- but we have seen fox a number of times and one neighbor reported seeing a mountain lion (though I've never seen one anywhere here or elsewhere).  A friend of mine who lives on the other side of town let her cat go in and out and it was killed my a fox.  Better to keep the kitty indoor and safe (and save birds and lizards as well!)

An osprey or something left a dead kokanee fish on my boat with the head off. Blood bath! Maybe it was mocking us for not catching fish and brought us one. Hopefully it's not the mafia gas guy sending a message!

Pheasant visitor in my yard. Was finally able to see it today, have only heard it yelling until now. Surprisingly fast and kind of sounds like an angry turkey

Pretty. Are those wild? Beautiful bird.

I’m not sure, never seen one before here in SoCal. Tried to google but all that comes up is a different type of pheasant (the ring neck) that was introduced to CA in the 1800s. This guy just showed up a few weeks ago and has made itself at home on my property.

What bird is that. I wish we had such beautiful birds. 
I did see a kestrel killing a mouse about 10 feet from me on a golf course last week
