There’s a black mom cat and 3 older black kittens at the park. Last night we decided to drop-trap them and get them fixed. We get the trap setup and mom and only 2 kittens come running up. We wait for a bit to see if the 3rd will show, but didn’t. They were a little wary, but eventually went under the drop trap. We decided to go for what we had in the trap before they ate their fill and we might miss out on them. We successfully got them and proceeded to wait another ½ to 1 hour for the other one, which finally showed. Unfortunately it wouldn’t go near the drop trap so we finally gave up and went home. I decided to try for the last remaining one in a regular trap this evening since, even though the others would be ear-tipped, it would be hard to tell which one we didn’t get from afar and would have to most likely trap all of them again. I just brought the regular humane trap and set it up. There he was waiting to be fed. Kevin left to feed the others in the other area as I waited. The little guy/girl went in the trap but it didn’t trip! I slowly walked up (keep in mind I have it covered with a towel) and the cat didn’t see nor hear me. I quickly slammed the trap door down and caught him! Whewwww one whole family now TNR’d, well this one will be tomorrow! We did end up trapping a 4th cat that had not been TNR'd!
BTW..we ended up with 1 female (mom) 1 adult male, and 2 male kittens. I will be curious to see what this other one turns out to be.

And two more obvious girls (red patch tabbies) still out there. The words out though, and hopefully this mess will be controlled in the course of a week or so..but I suspect kittens will be coming out of the woods for weeks to come. 
I dread to think of how many coyotes have picked off...but survival of the fittest I guess. Sure wish I had a video camera of alllll the bl/ white cats!
