A family group of coyotes. Wet female, male and one of last years female pups. Have not tried to locate the den - probably wouldn't be hard, since I know where that notch eared female likes to make hers, but I really don't need to bother them right now.

BTW... Just kind of interesting to see the ears-down super submissive behavior of the beta around the old Alpha Bitch. You can see the old gal giving the young one some stink eye in a couple of these pictuers. That yearling daughter so much as holds her head high around momma and she gets her ass chewed. Literally.

The coyote shots are so great. My dog came nose to nose with one behind the U of U hospital recently, closest I've been to one. The coat was much darker than your shots. Keep em' coming.

Ran into my first Mtn Lion last Sunday morning!

I was hiking Richards Hollow and was about 1/2 from the trailhead. It's a some what popular trail as there's a waterfall just over a mile up. I think we both saw each other at the same time and froze. He was about 50-60 feet away. I reached for my .40, but he didn't move so I grabbed my camera and took this shot. I went to adjust the shutter speed (that's why it's blurry) and he ran off. He made almost no sound and was out of sight in less than two seconds!

Love that newt shot. We used to get newts in our backyard all of the time while I was growing up here in Utah, it's been years and years since I have seen one at this point. Amphibians seem to not be doing to well.

Nice again, Rye! Any chance of annotating where these animals were found when you photographed them - for our education? I would like to learn more and observe more of them - especially since they are on a decline in many habitats.
