Coyote, Point Reyes National Seashore

December 4, 2021

Coyote Standing in New, Green Grass

I was out at Point Reyes yesterday. It was a fairly good day wildlife photography-wise. I was able to photograph this coyote, a badger, a bobcat, some elk and some hawks. The coyotes look good right now with their new winter fur.

I prefer the winter and spring for photography at Point Reyes because the grass is green. Unfortunately, cattle ranching has converted the grasses from the native, perennial grasses that stayed green throughout the year to non-native, annual grasses that die each year when the winter/spring rains end and we go into our dry Mediterranean summer and fall when the place looks like a waste land.
