Coyote on the Move

I just returned from a very productive trip to Colorado, where this image was taken last Thursday, late in the day atop Mt. Evans. This was only one of many great wildlife encounters over the last several days, all made possible by my host and good friend, Bob Smith. As this coyote appeared coming down the hill in front of us, I hoped that he would stay along the ridge on the opposite side of the road. Fortunately he did, and I was able to capture this, and a few others, that I had envisioned in my head when I saw the scene begin to unfold. That doesn't seem to happen to me very often.
