El Coyote

Steve took this photo yesterday near Sailor Bar on the American River. He had his camera out in the hope of shooting a red-breasted sapsucker, when he stumbled upon this fellow, resplendent in his winter coat and woolly tail. Click on the pic for a glimpse of his yellow-green eyes.

Wow! What a fantastic picture.

Thanks, Michelle. He really was a beauty -- and super cooperative (for about 30 seconds, anyway). Hope you and Bryan have a terrific new year.

Renee,
I love the pictures. More meaningful because I know that they were taken by urban naturalists!

Steve deserves the credit -- mostly I'm just traipsing along, scaring everything off!
