| Coyote at Grandview Park |
Once again I was close to home, nearly done with my walk and looking forward to getting on the bike, when I was glad I'd packed the camera along with me. Just past a sparrow balancing on a twig next to the road, I was surprised to see a coyote with her back to me. Must be G-Dog. It took a minute for her notice me (photo above), and a potential meal kept her there for another minute until she pawed half-heartedly at the sand and came up empty.
She casually walked away from me, and I once again climbed the stairs to try to keep an eye on her. I reached the top and walked around to the other side of the hill without spotting her. There isn't a lot of cover, so I wandered back the way I'd come, and there she was, heading toward me along the trail.
She turned around as soon as she saw me, but this time I was able to follow her movements all over the hill. Surprisingly, no one else appeared to notice her. I suspect it's one of those things where people don't see what they don't expect. People climb the stairs to take in the the long views over the city and beyond. They don't even notice a coyote roaming around on the hill itself.
