Coyotes here are not to picky. They dont eat possums or coons much. Have seen where they ate birds, wild and domestic, Deer, especially road kill. Dead livestock, kill calves and sheep, rodents including rabbits and muskrats. Will eat field corn when its ripe, mulberries, apples after they freeze. they kill cats but dont seem to eat them. It seems pups do that and then play with them. They eat the eggs and ground birds both.

No mink or fox to speak of. The fox we have live in town. When they leave the coyotes kill them. Here in town a huge part of the fox diet is pet food. I have a mulberry tree in my yard they eat those. The big frog eaters here are blue herons.

Coons eat everything. Coons skunks and possums are especially hard on ground nesting birds. Eating eggs chicks and adults every chance they get. I see their tracks under my mulberry tree also. Have a green worm that you find along the river under soft maple trees. Great fish bait and coons dig them up too. Possums eat a lot of nightcrawlers.

Cottontails taken extensively by bobcats, coyotes, foxes, great horned owls and goshawks. Voles caught and consumed by all raptors (mainly rough-legged hawks, red-tailed hawks, all the owls, foxes, marten, and weasels. When coyote populations are low (from sarcoptic mange), we have an explosion of striped skunks. As coyote populations grow, skunks diminish, and there are noticeably fewer pronghorn fawns. Mountain lions take a lot of mule deer and elk. Wolves seem to prefer elk over deer.
