Great Blue Heron at Lake Pueblo State Park, Colorado

The last full day of Autumn turned out to be an interesting one. Keen observers will draw the same conclusion based on today’s featured image. This Coyote was just off the trail (20 or so feet) and didn’t seem too concerned to see me. It only started a little at the sound of my camera’s shutter firing but did not run away. I grabbed a few quick shots and then moved on – not wanting to push my luck. Other than that it was Herons (in the trees) and a few ducks here and there. But I’m not complaining – today.
