FIG. 4.

The counts of four avian species (A) bald eagles, (B) turkey vultures, and (C) Corvus spp. captured by camera traps at carcass sites from 1 to 15 days after animal death, when the animal died during the anthrax risk period (June to August). Corvus spp. (ravens and crows) are present in the largest numbers. Turkey vultures are absent in the initial days after death and are present only in low numbers from 4 days after death to 7 days after death. Magpies and golden eagles were absent; surprisingly, magpies are present at carcass sites during the anthrax risk period but were only seen 15 or more days after animal death.
