If you’ve never seen a coyote hunt for voles in the snow, it is a lot of fun and very interesting. They walk very, very slowly and actually listen for movement under the snow. As they close in on the noise, they pounce into the air and down onto their prey.
This series captures one such sequence. Sorry the quality isn’t that great – she was a good ways off. Taken at Cherry Creek State Park near Denver, Colorado.
