Yellowstone's Coyote
Aug 1-4, 2007. We are staying in Grizzly RV-Park in West Yellowstone, Montana just out the west gate of Yellowstone National Park. We stayed in a different site every night because we did not have reservations and at this time of year they are FULL. The only way we got to stay there for 4-nights was to move into cancellation sites. The rates range from around $37 to $47 depending on a variety of things but generally back in sites were cheaper than pull-thru sites. Then they charge $4 for wifi. I suppose the pull-thru sites are a bit larger so the BIG rigs would probably be forced into one of them. Grizzly is a nice park, the nicest campground in the area. Bottom line is if you are planning to visit WEST YELLOWSTONE during July thru Aug-15 you need a reservation as every campground in the area is FULL. After August 15 you can have your choice of campgrounds with no reservations.
Coyote
This has been our year to spot coyotes. I don't know if a bumper crop was produced this spring or if by chance we have gotten better at spotting them. Whatever, between the two of us we are spotting more coyotes this year than in past years.
Coyotes have an easy gate, faster than a walk but not a run. They can cover great distances in search of food.
Coyote
You have to pay close attention but we have learned to look for coyotes hunting for small rodents among the herds of buffalo. The buffalo pay no attention to them.
Wiley Coote
Another coyote! Coyotes are always on the move. Unlike dogs, that sleep away most of the day, coyotes seem to always be up and about on the lookout for food. Coyotes always seem to be alone. We seldom see more than one at a time.
Lamar Valley Coyote with tracking collar
Herds of both buffalo and elk attract scavengers like coyotes, eagles and ravens. This coyote is hunting for an unsuspecting ground squirrel, or whatever "lunch of opportunity" presents itself.

This coyote had a radio collar on. Look closely and you can see both the collar and the radio.
