Sunrises, Canaans and Coyotes

This morning we awoke to a beautiful April sunrise. Later the coyotes came. I had an early morning cup of java outside on the deck while the crew chased the predators off their kingdom.

Just had to add this pic from the past of Maccabee silhouetted against a morning sunrise

Coyote Patrol

 The coyotes were hunting mice and had their heads buried in the snow. "Cybelle" was the first of the crew to drive the coyotes off her territory. I tried to get a clearer pic but she moved way too fast for my shutter speed and all my pics were blotches and blurs. So, below is an artistic shot of Cybelle in her fast and furious predator mode:-) She has been just as effective as Macc, who used to drive off the coyotes in a heartbeat.

I managed to get a clearer shot of one coyote just before "the Crew" took off  to escort the intruders off their boundary.

Below Miss "Cybelle" keeps her eyes peeled on her kingdom for more predators to drive off, while I have a second cup of java :-) This is her classic sentry position - such a good crew member!
