We frequently see coyotes at Fort Hill, searching about for a meal or just laying down basking in the sun. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It was a quiet morning when we saw this coyote traverse the entire field and then stop in front of us to look out onto Nauset Marsh, as if scoping out the area for his next meal.
I thought they were just beautiful photos. What do you think?
From “Coyote Tales” by Joseph Bruchac
“Coyote is a trickster in the Native American storytelling tradition. Coyote can be seen as being a greedy character, as he is in the Lakota tale “Coyote Goes to the Dance,” or as a helpful character, as in the Nez Perce tale “Coyote and the Swallowing Hill.””
You certainly have captured one handsome fellow! Love his prowess and alertness! Coyotes are quite beautiful and remarkable in many ways.
