Matt & the Trickster

I spent my snow day off in Rock Creek Park tracking what I thought was a fox.

Here it brushed the log when it jumped over it.

When I came across this scat, I knew it was too big to be fox. And it was still warm -- I was close on its trail.

Trickster coyote led me back over my own path. He stopped to check me out -- here are several tracks inside my footprint.

This "explosion" in the snow may be because I was a little too close on his trail -- he took off fast.
