I was at Willow Lake in Prescott AZ today and saw three porcupines. The most I’ve seen there at once. And I watched one climb down a tree. It was quite a process, sometimes forward soemtimes in reverse.

Coyote checking me out.
Taken at Willow Lake in Prescott, AZ on Friday 11/25/2022 to walk off my Thanksgiving meal and to bird.
The coyote is the first image I got of one with a “real” camera – not my trail cameras. Kind of interesting as I have lived in AZ since 1977 and coyotes are common. This one was very close to me, the images are slightly cropped 500mm lens. It was not aggressive at all, if I was walking my small dogs I would have been concerned.

Skunk pair

A pair of skunks photographed at night by a trail/game camera in our Prescott, Az front yard. I see these two often in the photos collected by the trail camera. In one image they are either mating or fighting (or both?). Anyone know enough about skunk behavior to say which activity is shown?

Update: Skunks mate February to March
