Description
Portrait Of A Predator
Coyote, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Yesterday on New Years Day, I made my annual New years trip to Rocky Mountain National Park, with =Glitch-Chaos and =daskibum What we saw, I think is safe to say, nothing short of incredible.
I don't think were were there 10 minutes when we happened upon an entire pack of Coyotes hunting, and close by as well, never seeming to pay attention to us. We had free reign for over 90 minutes just shooting away, pictures of them hunting, playing, frolicking around, you name it. Honestly this was an incredible sight, and one of the most incredible photo-opps I have ever had, shooting over 1500 shots.
I hope you all like it
