Other critters April/May

[kpr]

This is a Coyote that was sleeping on the backside of one of the dykes in Bellisle marsh in the sun.
I was sneaking on some ducks and noticed a "lump" in the dead grass but didn't pay much attention to it.
I checked on the ducks and began advancing again then looked back at the "lump" and it was...looking back at me...
Just as soon as we made eye contact it was like I had thrown hot water on it.

This lil fella was so intent on hunting it didn't hear me approaching.
It wasn't doing the listen/pounce hunting unfortunately but listening and digging.
Got to watch it quite a while before it noticed me at about 20yds and took off.
Picked up 11 ticks this session

Got "out Foxed" for bears tonight
This one was catching the last of the sun.
If I moved closer it would crouch and after a bit it was more than it was comfortable with.

Most Foxes I have seen around here for a while!
VERY happy with this encounter.

He was quite the jumper!!
About 10ft each jump and pic#2 was a downhill incline.
I wouldn't even guess the distance he got on that one.
