Pic of the Day: Coyote

We hear coyotes on or near our property nearly every night.  Sometimes they are so loud and so close to the house that they actually wake us up.  However, spotting them in daylight or catching them with our trailcam are much more rare.

Usually the photos we see are blurry, as the coyote is most often on the move.  This one stopped near the camera to sniff around a little bit (perhaps in search for one of the many rabbits we often catch with the camera).  Consequently the picture is far sharper than most that we see.

Pic of the Day

My trail camera has been producing hundreds of photos each month and I thought that it'd be fun to post some of the best and/or more interesting ones every now and then.

This photo was taken on a very windy March day.  It's a young buck who has recently lost his antlers and almost seems to be putting that area of his head into the wind on purpose.  Does it feel good to him?  Don't have a clue as I've never seen anything quite like this before.  Thought others might have an answer or at least get a kick out of it.  And no, there wasn't another buck waiting to do battle just out of the camera's view.  But he does look a lot like our goats when they decide to smack heads.
