When we were in Yellowstone in May of 2019 we saw this Coyote stalking a pair of Sandhill Cranes along Yellowstone's lower west side. The Coyote seemed to us to be pretending no interest in the Cranes while always moving closer. The Cranes were staying just out of his reach, however, and the Coyote finally gave up the chase.

When in Yellowstone in May of 2019 we saw quite a few Sandhill Cranes. They migrate through the area in spring and autumn. This Crane was being stalked by a Coyote but unsuccessfully. The Coyote seemed to be pretending disinterest while always moving closer, while the the Cranes (there were two of them) would move just out of his reach.

We saw this Coyote in the area of Fountain Paint Pots in Yellowstone National Park. It was stalking a pair of Sandhill Cranes, though unsuccessfully.

This Coyote was photographed as we traveled to Yellowstone National Park from the east. We've seen them in the park but this one was nearby. They are very common animals in the west.

These photos are all of animals we've seen coming into Yellowstone National Park from the east over Cody and through Sylvan Pass. Some of the photos were taken just outside the park, as was this, but all the animals can also be seen within the park boundaries and many of them wander freely in and out of the park, sometimes bringing about confrontations with those who live near the park. This wolf is the only one I've ever had opportunity to photograph though many of the other animals are seen near the roads and in the public areas of the park.

This photo is from last spring when we made the same trip from Washington to Michigan that we made this past week, stopping both times in Yellowstone National Park. For the first time ever in our many visits to Yellowstone we saw a wolf up close, this just outside the east entrance to the park and quite early in the morning. We stopped along the road and he sat long enough for photos before loping away. On another note, we arrived in Michigan late Friday evening in the middle of violent thunderstorms that included hail. We will be here now for several weeks but as yet I have not had time to go though my photos. In fact, I was out last night with my youngest brother and a friend photographing the stars and the Milky Way - getting more photos instead of dealing with those I have. I appreciate your patience and visits.

After staying the night in Cody, Wyoming, we drove on the next morning, heading for Tensleep Canyon. Along the road we stopped to photograph this Coyote who eventually trotted away.
