Canis latrans

Probably my best and closest coyote shots to date.

My size 11 bootprint for scale beside the hoofprint of one of the wild horses of Herd #2.

She kept her distance for the most part, and remained hidden for a majority of the time we observed her.

These three were behaving like stallions, set apart from the larger group, and staring us down as we popped our heads up over the ridge. Members of Herd 2.

I'd wager the foal second from the left is the offspring of the mare on the far left, and Stripe, given its coloration and forehead stripe.

Most definitely the stallion of Herd 1, which we only saw for a brief moment before they quickly walked off.

Lanius excubitor

Heard its shrill cry just as we had turned away from Herd 2 to head back to the jeep. Couldn't resist the chance to spot it and get a confirming photo. Not an award-winning shot, but good enough to confirm the ID.

Buteo lagopus

7th Rough-legged Hawk of the day

Buteo lagopus

Probably one of the stallions. Stayed apart from the bulk of the herd, closest to us, and kept a careful eye on us while we observed and photographed them.

Backcountry peace.

I'd hazard a guess that this might be the one of the stallions, though not the alpha.
