Coyote, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, November 22, 2012
The coyote and the cranes
A coyote showed up at the pond this afternoon, intent on finding a meal amongst the snow geese I presume. (S)he wandered around the edge of the pond with the cranes for a while and then left. I suspect a healthy crane is more than a coyote wants to take on. The coyote seemed wary of them and they in their turn kept the coyote surrounded at a respectful distance.

Vision, Novelty and Fear
Animals see more intense contrasts of light and dark because their night vision is so much better than ours. Good night vision involves excellent vision for contrasts and relatively poor color vision.
