Fine Art Portfolio | Coyote This Coyote is tracking a vole. In the winter, voles make up a good portion of a coyotes diet. Although I usually like my wildlife images in color, this image seems to magnify the Coyote’s intensity in its hunt. Also, the coyotes pointier nose and ears are easier to clarify as a coyote instead of a wolf.
The Back Story This image of a Coyote tracking a vole was captured very close to the Canyon Village. It was a simple click from the window of our vehicle. Using the vehicle as a blind can make capturing wildlife images easier particularly in national parks where the wildlife are familiar with vehicles. It’s also much safer. Wildlife is, well, wild. For more images and information about Yellowstone, see Yellowstone NP Wild | a 7 Image Story.
