When I visit Antelope Island I always try to arrive on the island proper a few minutes before sunrise. That has its advantages and disadvantages. (2 photos)
Two days ago I photographed a coyote biting off and eating a duck’s head and leaving the rest of the carcass behind. Yesterday morning I photographed a different coyote doing the same thing, twice. I have to wonder why they’re doing it. (16 photos)
After many years of observing coyotes on Antelope Island I may have finally put two and two together. I’ll present the evidence and viewers can make up their own minds. (14 photos)
And I do mean “freshly”. He caught the duck maybe five seconds before this photo was taken, even though he had a broken left rear leg. Don’t worry, there are no blood or guts in the photo.
The coyote obviously had crane cutlets in mind for breakfast but the cranes seemed to be taunting him, even daring him to attack. The attitude and demeanor of the cranes seemed to say “Give it your best shot, Buster”.
