1711_3219 Coyote Stretch
Here is yesterday's Coyote, stretching just prior to the strange head roll and bow and bizarre facial expression. She appears to have dried blood on the side of her face, not her own blood - she probably had a prairie dog for breakfast. She's just a messy eater, and her tongue won't reach that far back, and there's no dewy grass to roll in or open water to help her wash her face. She needs to find a mate to lick it off.
