Our last day in Yellowstone National Park did not disappoint! We started the day with fresh wolf tracks crossing the road. A few Coyote tracks were sprinkled in the same spot. While we waited for wolves to appear, a single Coyote trotted along the roadway seemingly on a mission, heading down the groomed roadway. It was not deterred by the other Snow Coaches pulled over or the rows of Sledders lined up on the edge of the roadway. We got back in the snow coach and drove to the next pullout, waiting for the Coyote to appear, minutes later up the road. It reminded me of my first trip to Yellowstone National Park in winter, 8 years ago in 2016 when we encountered a lone Coyote on a mission, as it took the path of least resistance, the groomed road. At that time, Moose had the snow coach driver move to the next pullout down the road and we got out with our cameras (with the Nikkor 300mm PF, new at the time, mounted) and here came the Coyote. In a deja-vu all over again moment, I had the new Nikkor Z600mmPF lens with the Z1.4X teleconverter attached, the difference being that I took this image a bit further away than with the 300mmPF lens. It was a great way to finish a great trip.
