Working hard to put food on the table

This was one of two Coyotes I saw when I went for a wonderful day out with friends, Cathy and Terry, into the Rocky Mountains, on May 20th. We watched this one from the car for quite a while, seeing how stealthily she could move. Every now and again, there would be a loud, warning screech from a Columbian Ground Squirrel. The Coyote made its way along the top of an embankment parallel to the road, sometimes in sight and sometimes disappearing just into the trees. Eventually, it crossed the road and we were able to watch it for a while longer.
