I’m back in Yellowstone National Park. Despite the government shutdown, the park is open and the critters await! I photographed this Coyote on my visit here a year ago in October. We came across a small pack of Coyotes feasting on a carcass on a berm at the side of the road. They kept constant watch on the surrounding area, perhaps because they were concerned that whatever killed what they were feasting on might return. Considering the red tinge to the fur on its face and muzzle, this Coyote appears to have had its feast and was on guard duty.
