Coyote

Before I was able to photograph the Common Mergansers in the river, they moved downstream. I suggested to my wife that we walk along the river bank slowly to try and get close to them. “What if we meet a bear?”, she said. There was no answer to that and a moment later, I noticed that she was going pale and pointing. I could lip read the word “Wolf”.
