Pouncing coyote at Malheur
We followed this guy for a while along the Center Patrol Road at Malheur Refuge this morning while he hunted. He knew we were there, of course, but was too busy finding prey to care very much as I photographed his hunt.
It’s been a beautiful three days here — this morning the temperature was 17 degrees when we got out on the refuge at dawn; with clear skies and lots of sun it hit about 45 by mid afternoon.
