"SUNSHINE GETAWAY"

Coyote - 3 Photos

Taken just as the sun was setting, the coyote highlighted in the photos below, came bounding down the hill, paused and then bounded back up again having spotted me.

Definitely an adult coyote, not certain of the gender but full grown with all the wariness of his/her species. No curiosity of youth here.

Reaching the top of the hill as quickly as possible, I saw that the coyote had gone just a little way off, pausing to allow for three quick photos and then in typical fashion, just jogged away. Obviously, nothing to see here for a certain canid.

Have seen this coyote two more times since in the exact same area and he/she always arrives in a bounding fashion, much like a wolf jumping through deep snow. So I've named him/her "Springer". And Springer might well be one of Dash's, Scarf's & MC's parents.
