まだまだあつい日がつづきますが、きょうはすくなくともくもがあります。- It is still hot, but at least

there are clouds today.

Have you ever seen a coyote in the wild? Well, they visit us here on occasion and the other day I spotted one in the meadow through the dining room window. I grabbed my camera and ran out, but it was already after sunset and needing to use the full zoom I did not have anything to sit the camera on, so the images are not particularly sharp. It poked around for a while, then crossed the road, looked around some more and then disappeared in the tall grass.

The other two shots are just of a flowering raspberry bush I was while hiking that day.

I might have another episode from the road trip ready later today. I would really like to get through that photo set before I take more pictures. At least in the current heat I don't have much desire to hike and long distance visibility is bad because of smoke from a fire all the way across the state border in Utah... 😒

    I ran into a coyote when I walked my dog in the woods once. He was walking very close to us but he didn’t notice us😳

    @Daisakuダイサク They can attack small dogs and some attacks have been recorded on small children. It's quite rare. I just looked it up and there are two confirmed recorded human deaths from coyote attacks.

    @Daisakuダイサク like I said, attacks are rare. I see them a few times every year, usually late in the day. They just pass through, looking for rodents.

    @sj I see. I am used to wildlife crossing. We have huge elk herds here and they just cross the road whenever they feel like it. Sometimes they just stand there, in the middle of the road. 😄

    @sj yes, you just sit there and wait for them to move on. Some people get impatient though and try to get around them or get very close trying to push them out of the way. I don't like seeing that.

    I have spotted once in Canada, but I couldn’t tell if it was a coyote or hyena. It was in a distance and looking at us for a few seconds, then ran into the mountain.

    @Sharon as there are no hyenas in Canada it was likely a coyote, possibly a wolf.

    @Jake Oh! Thank you for the information. It’s very exciting to see wild animals like that. In Taiwan, they are mostly stray dogs. I was very impressive to see the wild animals like coyote or wolf. I like your photos!
