4th - Coyote Road Kill

TRNP 2017
This coyote was cruising the prairie dog town.
I got tons of shots of it just trotting through.
As it picked up it's pace, it got to a point where the sun was on the wrong side.
As I was changing some settings, at some point it grabbed this road killed PD.
As it was moving off to the far side of the town, a magpie kept messing with it.
It took the road kill from the magpie.
So the magpie was dive bombing it, and the coyote would turn, but it would turn away from me.
Had I have been on the other side of the coyote, I'd have tons of shots with the meal, and an angry bird
attacking it.

The coyote being chased is in pending.
It didn't turn it's head towards me, always away.

One of those shots I would've thought was great had I not learned there was more to the story that it wasn't telling.
