Spatiotemporal variation in animal detections on the fine-scale camera grid. Uneven distribution of animal detections within the grid reflects fine-scale variation in animal space use. We were often able to infer likely biological reasons for this variation from behaviors observed in the photos. Some raccoon paths coincided with a small dry creek bed. Deer activity briefly increased at the center of the grid on days 5–7 when a live tree branch fell from the canopy. Coyote activity dramatically increased during the last few days. Individuals were seen carrying food, suggesting that this increase was related to a feeding event. Deer movement paths are not shown because there were too many to visualize clearly
