Just noticed this....

[Salmon_Run]

I've been sorting out my camera pictures from last fall and just noticed this. I'm thinking a coyote, but it doesn't appear in any other picture.

The animal is on top of the stone wall with his face away from the camera just above the stump in the center right of the picture. 

I have thousands of pictures from this general area and nothing else compares.  

It's located in Hamilton County and well away from any highways.

Where is the picture ?

It seems to smooth for coyote and is the line i see on it or a weed?

[Salmon_Run]

The line is on the animal, I was thinking a coyote too, but the fur seems very short. I honestly have no idea and this picture was taken in between other hours apart and no other pictures have this animal.

Yup, that be a coyote. After enlarging the pic, you can make out the pointy ears. But it "could" be a mountain lion! We haven't had one of those threads in awhile!

[Salmon_Run]

I firmly believe it is NOT a mountain lion but it looked strange by the angle....

I hate YOTES !!!    

[Paula]

Doesn't look like a mountain lion. Fur just seems odd with that line

[fasteddie]

Not sure what it is .............

Yote!

Well .....  what looks like a tail could be one of those fern fronds, note the others behind it...The ears look some what pointed but too short for a coyote...the body size compared to a guess on surrounding rock and log size,only you know that, I say bob cat. The night pics tend to wash out color  and it would not be sporting it's full winter coat...could actually be in what groomers call a blown coat phase before the new one comes in.

I'm on the bobcat train as well. I think grow is right on the "tail" being fern . Haunch gives it a catlike appearance as well

[BizCT]

Easy one. bobcat. It has spots and bobbed tail. The tree thing makes it look like long tail but it's not.

Here are the pictures taken just ahead and right after this one. I believe I'm on the bobcat belief as well now....strange indeed...

I've all but ruled out raccoon, pine martin and coyote...It looks more feline than canine in form and there looks like a lateral line in the fur where it is darker on top.

Thanks everyone for their input....

This is well off the roadway at an old abandoned farm that I located. Last fall the apple trees were full of big apples that dropped and I placed a trail cam under it. The apples were dark red skin, almost pink inside and very sweet.

Early fall the bears and other small game were there almost nightly until the apples were gone. Odd thing was that the deer seldom hit the area all fall.  

Here is the camera in daylight.
