With temperatures fluctuating from freezing temperatures at night to double digit temperatures during the day, combined with longer & stronger hours of sunshine, creeks & ponds are showing the signs of ice break up.
And with water levels receding, some of the ice floes have been stranded onshore.
And what better place for a young coyote, this time - EmCee (or Mini Coyote) to do some hunting. You never know what food treasures might be found hiding in the soft soil along the shoreline and under the exposed ice.
Finding what she could with a cursory patrol, EmCee returned to the grasses & shrubbery of solid ground and further hunting.
