Urban Coyote
Running down Summit Ave, hair on its nape standing on end, dodging in and out of groups of pedestrians, through fences, passing other dogs...this one was hell bent for the Mississippi Gorge at the foot of the street, eventually disappearing into the bluff forest there. Had my camera ready as I waited for the traffic light, but when he passed he was still a blur.
Lots of legends in this part of town about urban coyotes and hybrids such as the infamous coyote-wolf-dog. But back in the real world, I do often see coyotes ambling down residential streets here early in the morning returning to their dens after an all-night food run. Just don't usually see them in the middle of the day with so many people and cars out and about.
