"SCRATCH & WIN" Coyote - 6 Photos Following on from the previous blog, "MARCH BREAK" (March 9, 2025), EmCee (MC for Mini Coyote), is not a coyote who will leave any stone or rather shrub unturned. Following her ears (and probably her nose as well), she began digging at the base of a small dried bush. It didn't take long before she popped up wit...

"BIG BROTHER, LITTLE SISTER" Coyote - 6 Photos Another week and a half later, two coyotes came down from the ridge and into the woods below.

"TRAINING GROUND" Coyote - 9 Photos And I thought they couldn't get much smaller. From the ridge came the two adolescent coyotes, most likely the two that generally hunt & socialize together, the larger being male, the smaller - female.

"FAMILY TIES" Coyote - 11 Photos Have been photographing these two young coyotes for almost two months now. Have seen them separately & together on many occasions. You can't miss that leggy, lanky look of youth and the female is particularly small, probably the youngest of her sibling(s). Their behaviour also speaks of youth. Still extremely...

"KNOCK ON WOOD" Pileated Woodpecker - 7 Photos Knock on wood and let the chips fall where they may. Words that woodpeckers, including Pileated Woodpeckers, live by.
