They need some bush nearby and they just hang out...
I can have 20-50 ravens on a site and they won't tough a coyote till day 3. After that it seems they get on them. Not sure why it takes 3 days. Interesting how things vary so much from one area to another

this is the same behavior i have noticed in my area. though i only snared last winter i have shot off of bait for a while now and unless it has been pressured hard the coyotes will come and go all day long. as for the ravens. out of the roughly 30 coyotes i snared none got opened by ravens and i was flushing 10-20 every time i approached the bait. i was checking roughly 3-4 days apart.
