2025—An Easter Treat

Just Truman and I were out on Ferrari Pond Trail early Easter morning. As we turned to head back, passing the Salt Pond a second time, Truman said, “look at those ears, it must be a jack rabbit!” As I looked up, two eyes and a pair of enormous ears peeked over the tall grasses on a knoll. I realized immediately it was one of our Coyotes but when I put my camera to my eye, he had disappeared. Then Truman turned and headed back to the Salt Pond saying that the coyote would cross the water. Sure enough, when I turned, there he was, already in the water walking near the bullrushes. As he headed into open water, passing the Long-billed Dowitchers and Least Sandpipers, he never even glanced at the birds. The birds ignored him as well. What a treat to have on Easter morning. And, fewer calories than a chocolate Easter bunny.
