"Coyote Ugly" on the National Geographic Channel

Here's a shot of a coyote taken from our kitchen window looking just beyond our backyard fence. With all the wildlife that comes and goes during the day, we call this view out the window our "National Geographic Channel." About this time last year, a coyote mother raised her pups in a den about 50 yards from where this picture was taken. We could hear the pups whining and whelping excitedly at mealtime. When the pups got older, one would lay out on the hill and sun himself, driving our dog Princess crazy!
