Coyote Buddies – Both Of Them Survivors
I love it when critters overcome a stacked deck and beat the odds against their survival.

Stupidity And Tragedy On Antelope Island
A week ago today I witnessed two unfortunate events on Antelope Island and the causeway leading to it. Each was caused by poor decisions by humans and each had potential or real negative effects on wildlife.
Bison At The Scratchin’ Post (and a recycling lesson from critters)
Some Interesting Observations on Antelope Island Yesterday
There are always interesting things to see on the island, some anticipated and some not. Some welcome and some not.
Pronghorn Meets Bird At 40mph
Usually when something unexpected happens in the field my lens is pointed in another direction but in this instance the timing couldn’t have been much better.
Bison And Birds
Starlings, cowbirds and even magpies have an interesting relationship with the bison on Antelope Island.
Progress Report On The Severely Injured But Now Healing Coyote
Nineteen days has shown what I believe is a remarkable improvement in the snout injury of this coyote.
Another (very different) Look At The Injured Coyote
Two days ago I reported on a seriously injured coyote on Antelope Island and said I’d keep you updated if I encountered the animal again. Yesterday morning I did just that.
Coyote Aggression And Serious Coyote Injury
Yesterday morning there was ample evidence of serious social tension among the Antelope Island coyotes.
Coyotes Steal A Jackrabbit From Golden Eagles
Chronicling A Recent Morning On Antelope Island
Four days ago I had a particularly interesting morning on Antelope Island and thought readers might enjoy a chronological reporting of my experience. Some of these images are better than others but as a group these photos of varying quality document my 2 1/2 hour morning on that wonderful island.
Two Coyotes Hunting And The Demise Of A Vole
Two days ago I photographed a pair of coyotes up close as they hunted voles along the Antelope Island causeway.
The Mind’s Eye Can Be Deceived By The Effects Of Telephoto Lenses
What you see isn’t always what you get in nature photography. The following three images, taken sequentially in a burst, illustrate my point.
Coyote and Magpies Scavenging A Deer Carcass
Weasel In The Fog (and the mechanism of their seasonal color change)
Farmington is in a sort of wrapped bowl of the Wasatch Mountains which traps clouds – the bane of bird photographers. Much the same thing happens to morning fog, especially during winter. Collectively I call the phenomenon the “Farmington Curse” and that curse, in the form of fog, was much in evidence two mornings ago when I spent some time with a Long-tailed Weasel.
