Coyote | Hunting Vole
Coyote | Hunting Vole This Coyote was hunting voles in the Hayden Valley of Yellowstone NP. He just pranced into the field near my position as I was having a quick lunch.

Coyote | a 7 Image Story
Coyote | a 7 Image Story Coyotes are savvy, clever, and wild members of the dog family that have adapted to changing American landscape. They inhabit forests, mountains, prairies, and deserts as well as cities and small towns. In fact, they can be found in most parts of North America. As omnivores they will eat almost anything including rabbits, rodents, fish, frogs, and even deer as well as livestock and pets. They hunt alone and in packs using their keen vision, a strong sense of smell, and ability to run 40 mph. Coyotes are smaller than wolves and have more pointed muzzle and ears. They weigh between 20 to 50 pounds and stand around 35 inches tall. They communicate between packs with a distinctive call, which can be unnerving at night. These images were captured in Yellowstone NP and Grand Teton NP.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Coyote.
