Hunting for lunch

This was one of two Coyotes I saw when I went for a wonderful day out with friends, Cathy and Terry, into the Smith Dorrien-Spray Trail area of the Rocky Mountains, on 20 May 2012. We watched this one from the car for quite a while, seeing how stealthily she could move. Every now and again, there would be a loud, warning screech from a Columbian Ground Squirrel. The Coyote made its way along the top of an embankment parallel to the road, sometimes in sight and sometimes disappearing into the nearest trees. Eventually, it crossed the road and we were able to watch it for a while longer.

"The name "coyote" is borrowed from Mexican Spanish coyote, ultimately derived from the Aztec word cóyotl, meaning "trickster". Its scientific name, Canis latrans, means "barking dog" in Latin." From Wikipedia.

Something is definitely wrong with Flickr this morning. I posted my "daily three" images almost four hours ago and it shows only a total of 10 views for the three photos together. Not one comment, which is highly unusual. I mention this only because it's obvious that Flickr is not working properly. Anyone else experiencing this? Just checked My Contacts' new photos and there are only photos uploaded by four people, so my photos are most likely not showing up on their pages, either! I guess that's another problem, sigh.

8 hours later - just got home, and found that there has been basically no activity on my photos from today. Just left a message on the Help Forum. Hey, Flickr - what's going on? Something needs fixing! Please .....
