March 05, 2025 • Leave a Comment

"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.

"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.

"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. And for a Pileated, who doesn't care where the chips fall, what really matters is what lies in the excavated cavity, i.e. insects. Drill a few holes, excavate, use that long to...

"TINY DANCER" Coyote - 8 Photos Not the song, but the "song dog"!:) The coyote featured in the photos below is probably the smallest young adult coyote I've ever encountered. Most likely the youngest of her siblings born in Spring 2024. She appeared in a previous blog, "Scarf - January 9, 2025" and I had based her gender on her delicate featu...
