[Leica] a chance encounter

[Douglas Herr]

I've been trying to visit Ancil Hoffman Park in nearby Carmichael (Sacramento County) regularly this spring to check on the progress of potential woodpecker nest sites.  This involves a lot of walking around the various trails; coyotes are always present here but usually secretive. As many animals do, Coyotes have regular habits and they certainly have established den sites but I have yet to determine either so my encounters with them have been random.  It didn't seem to mind me, it looked toward me several times in the few minutes I had.
