Coyote

After Breakfast, gathered the gear, and paddled over to the Hummock Ponds to see if Mallards about, and in Flicker Grove, just after I took Half Dome pic that's up, Coyote was about...and very close.... startled Coyote as I was circling around the Fallen Oak... Coyote went out into Bobcat Meadow, and trotted towards the Deer House, doing a hop on the way...just missed hop, pic up is Coyote landing....other two Coyote pics from yesterday....checked for Mallards...Mallards off somewhere, and Ice on the Ponds, Snow on the Hummocks....continued over Chapel Bridge, and along the Merced...Sentinel pic up...time...on return, noted Coyote's track...Coyote didn't go the House, but over to Chapel Bridge, and along the River, much like the other day....if I hadn't left off to retrieve the tripod, I might have gotten more pics!....sunny blueblue, light snowfall last night, cool...yesterday when I sighted Coyote, I sighted Pileated Woodpecker Pair in Owl Woods too....farfar away pics....report of Bear Tracks, small and large, along Rocky Slope...
