Gray Wolf and North American River Otter are both double-counts (you counted them previously at Bay Beach, in January and February respectively), but you also quoted the wrong post and started yourself a number lower than your actual total:

Thanks, I was a bit rushed to get this post in, I was afraid I would forget about it. The date should read March 30th as well.

These should be 26 and 27; if you read the previous page of the thread you'll recall me saying that the 26 and 27 you just quoted were double-counts and you were actually at 25.

Ah yes, sorry about that. I remember you saying that, but I forgot and blindly went off of what my last post said.

21. Coyote (Canis latrans)
22. Grey wolf (Canis lupus)
23. Island fox (Urocyon littoralis)
24. Kit fox (Vulpes macrotis)
25. White-nosed coati (Nasua narica)


Unfortunately, yet unsurprisingly, the ringtail was a no-show. Luckily, the Audubon Zoo has a pair, which I will hopefully be able to see whenever their nocturnal house opens back up.

That is unfortunate, though I'm glad you may get a second shot at it. When I visited in 2019, it was curled up and sleeping in one of its hollow logs:

@Coelacanth18 - Lucky! I saw no sign of it on two visits to the enclosure. Knowing Audubon has a pair, I wasn’t too pressed, but they’re always a nice species to see!
