Just a few days later from when the last blog was posted, it snowed quite heavily in Calgary, AB and the meadows & woods changed from their late Autumn attire to Winter finery.
And it made for a great background to highlight the coyotes who had already changed into their thicker warm coats.
Watching them as they easily traverse through the meadows and woods, sometimes at an easy trot, sometimes almost prancing across the deeper snow, makes me envious of their abilities to deal with Winter conditions. There I am trudging along, making slow progress through the snow while the coyotes with their adapted feet and pads seem to just sail across the drifts.
If one ever felt inadequate at how as a species we can be so behind wildlife in their abilities to live in the natural world, this would be the time.
