Almost nine years ago on the Antelope Island causeway I watched as this coyote approached me from the west right at the crack of dawn. When ‘he’ stopped to lie down in the warming sun he was so close to me I had to switch to my backup camera and ‘baby lens’ in order to get all of him in frame.<\/p>\n

And he wasn’t alone.<\/p>\n

Soon another, slightly smaller coyote, the one on the right, joined him. They sniffed each other in a friendly manner and seemed really tight with each other. I recognized the coyote on the left from previous encounters because of the small, curved scar on his snout. I used to call him Scarface.<\/p>\n

The first photo above is new to my blog but I posted this one in June of 2015. The very warm morning light, the attractive setting and their cozy body language make it one of my favorite coyote photos so I thought it deserved to be seen again.<\/p>\n

On a completely unrelated note.<\/p>\n

Late yesterday morning I found this migrating adult nonbreeding Horned Grebe at one of our local ponds. It’s a steep shooting angle and the light was marginal so it’s only a documentary photo but it’s quite unusual for me to see, much less photograph, a Horned Grebe so I wanted to report the sighting.<\/p>\n

In over 13 years of blogging it’s only the third photo of a Horned Grebe I’ve ever posted to Feathered Photography.<\/p>\n
