Well it happened today, I wrote 2006; ugh. At least now it’s outta my system. Now for the first POM of 2007:
 Picture: Coyote in snow covered meadow in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California.
My 5 year old daughter chose this for her Christmas card to her Grandma. I actually have, by complete accident, discovered a nearly fool-proof method for ‘calling’ and getting coyotes attention. IÂ have even seen them come prancing across entire meadows to within a few yards of where I was. I won’t share this method with you, and I actually haven’t used it since its “discovery”. What is truly sad is that this method is a testament to the horrible habituation some wildlife encounters in our National Parks and beyond. However, this coyote here wasn’t ‘called’, and he wasn’t paying attention to me or the several other photographers nearby. He was focused on looking for mice; a perfectly acceptable behavior for Wiley E.
