"THE SMALLEST HAVE THE BIGGEST ATTITUDE" Red Squirrel - 7 Photos I have found that the smallest of wildlife have some of the biggest attitudes. The Long-Tailed Weasel & the Mink come immediately to mind. If they do take the time to pause & look at you, it's that look, "Yeah, want to make something of it!"

"CHRISTMAS COYOTE" Coyote - 8 Photos An opportunity to photograph a young coyote in his/her natural environment would have been on my Christmas wish list if I thought that it could be possible.
