We've seen an abundance of wildlife at Yellowstone. On one of our first days we saw this female coyote being chased by a deer in an odd reversal of roles. Maybe the deer had young to protect. The coyote was a slight thing, so small I thought it was a fox at first. She followed us around a bit, looking at us like, "I wonder if I could take them down". But a stomp or "whoop" made her scurry away.

Here I just caught the attention of a coyote peeking across the road to see if it was okay for him to cross.
Aesop's Fable - The Hare With Many Friends
A Hare was very popular with the other animals in the jungle who all claimed to be her friends. One day she heard the hounds approaching her and hoped to escape them by the aid of her Friends. So, she went to the horse, and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back. But he declined, stating that he had important work to do for his master. "He felt sure," he said, "that all her other friends would come to her assistance." She then applied to the bull, and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns. The bull replied: "I am very sorry, but I have an appointment with a lady; but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want." The goat, however, feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it. The ram, he felt sure, was the proper friend to ask for help. So she went to the ram and told him the case. The ram replied: "Another time, my dear friend. I do not like to interfere on the present occasion, as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares." The Hare then applied, as a last hope, to the calf, who regretted that he was unable to help her, as he did not like to take the responsibility upon himself, as so many older persons than himself had declined the task. By this time the hounds were quite near, and the Hare took to her heels and luckily escaped.
Moral of the story :
He that has many friends, has no friends.
While we see Coyotes in the Phoenix area with some frequency, I’m always thrilled to see them. Check this guy out. He looks very lean and fit. This is definitely a boy (he’s got daddy parts) but we didn’t see a female with him. Maybe a youngster. This is rather heavily cropped, but still, I always love seeing the coyotes.
This beautiful 'Wiley Coyote' was strolling along with it's partner next to the road I was traveling. I stopped got out of the car along with my two birding buddies. One of the coyotes kept it's distance but this one didn't seem to have a care in the world except for where it's nest meal would be.
We're back in our sunny mild temps here in sunny California...:)...wishing you the same, have a wonderful day and thank you for your visit and comments.

Took this shot (in town) with my 24-240mm fully zoomed. The coyote was over 100 meters out. So this is a heavy crop. Still had enough detail that I wanted to share it. The coyote seems to be healthy and looks to be growing a thick coat in anticipation of winter.
is lurking again, ..... on top of sheds and garage roofs.
This is fine until nearby dogs get a whiff of them and all start barking.
I came across this guy as I was wearing full camo hiding in bushes from some birds and just happen to make the slightest noise to get this look from this very astute predator. He must be very adapt at his "A" game to be this good looking and healthy. So good to see!!

Wiki: The creator of the cartoon character Wiley Coyote, Chuck Jones, based the character on Mark Twain's book Roughing It, in which Twain described the coyote as "a long, slim, sick and sorry-looking skeleton" that is "a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry."
There are a few highlights to see when you're driving north on Hwy. 65 out of Conway. First is the inherent silliness of the name of Pickles Gap (I mean, what is the dill with it?). Then there is the dramatic excitement of the runaway truck ramp. After that, as you begin to approach the Leslie metro area, you can see the iconic red barn at Wileys Cove. The barn is scenically situated along a hillside, with a blanket of trees behind it.
