I seldom do this, but you must see this...

 
From the blog, nature of man, apparently they set up a camera "trap" just outside where they knew coyotes were denning.

21 hours later the batteries died.

Very unusual.

Normally, speaking from my experience, this means something BORING happened, like a tuft of grass triggered the camera every time it bowed in the wind. Once happened to me and the cause was waves in the Pacific. Every time a wave rolled up, CLICK! Yeah.

So, NOT THIS TIME.

=)

Dozens and dozens of shots of baby coyote pups playing and playing and playing.

CHECK THIS OUT! =)

There's SEVEN pups.

It'll lift anyone's mood. =)

Oh, and I realize this is also on my blog roll, but in case it gets bumped down the list, check THIS out, too. AWESOME. Nature is SO stunning sometimes, I can barely take it. And in my comment on MOBugs I put a link back HERE to ANOTHER natural STUNNER who took my breath away (scroll down...).

Enjoy!

the sometimes emotional impact of detecting wildlife...

  

Thanks to Camera Trap Codger for cluing me in to this:

From the bbc, obviously.

=)

Data is a good thing.
