Chilling Duet

By Jim | Published February 3, 2022

With today’s continuing snow and frigid temperatures here in the Missouri Ozarks, I thought this winter scene from a few years ago in Yellowstone NP was very appropriate to feature! While driving the snow-covered roads in the Lamar Valley, we came upon a pair of coyotes who began serenading us with a chilling duet: Our […]

During our time in the Badlands NP, we saw several coyotes (Canis latrans). Most of the time, they were at a distance and quite wary of people. But one morning we saw this little guy, who was neither far from the road, nor very afraid. I pulled the truck over to the side of the road […]

Yellowstone Coyote hunting

By Jim | Published February 28, 2011

When we left the Old Faithful Snow Lodge, heading back to Mammoth Hot Springs, we were fortunate to see some wildlife along our snowcoach ride.
