When the power blew out one evening last week and was still out the next morning, I decided it would be a good day to visit the park and see what I could see. The ferocious wind had passed over and in its wake, total calm. Warm sun was beaming down. Two minutes along the Ecotour Road, I spotted not one but two Coyotes, basking in the warmth. Maybe they were tired after a night of prowling. For whatever reason, they were disinclined to move.
I parked by the roadside and waited to see what would happen next. This was my first shot, of the larger one - I am guessing a parent or larger sibling, as they were both female. She showed no fear. A moment later she curled up and resumed her nap.
