Living with Coyotes

There is no better day than one where I have had an unexpected coyote sighting.  I saw this beauty while running errands this morning.

As much as I love seeing coyotes, I know there are many that don't, in part due to misunderstanding and misinformation.

Please take a moment to visit Coyote Watch Canada's website at www.coyotewatchcanada.com.  If you are concerned about a coyote in your area, give this a read:  http://coyotewatchcanada.com/co-existing-with-coyotes/living-with-coyotes.

Coyotes should be enjoyed and respected, but not feared.  It is possible to peacefully coexist.

Red-Tailed Hawk Hunting in Whitby

This is surely the most photographed hawk in Durham, because its not every day that you find one who doesn't care that he's hunting with a human audience.  He definitely has a preference for Eastern Grey Squirrels.

Not the face that a squirrel wants to see in a tree

Majestic beauty

It's not visible in this photo, but he has another squirrel in his talons
