the Way of the Turtle

Wile E.?
Tuesday, December 30, 2008

After spending the evening visiting with my parents, Ann and I headed home via a variety of "back roads" (mainly because I really wanted to stop along the way at a supermarket and get some dinner!) It's no great surprise to see deer crossing the road at night in the winter... Ann spotted the buck first and I slowed down almost to a stop in case he had buddies running behind him.

Instead, we watched a coyote chase after him!

They ran through a field along the road and then back across the road a minute or so later... if only I'd thought to pull my camera out the first time we saw them... oh, well, even without pictures it was still a pretty wild thing to see on a cold December night.
