Sunshine and Scavengers

Our day started off pretty well, with some sunshine and fun.
Shyla showed off for the camera by using her favorite combination trick - cross your paws and rest your snout on them!
Then the clouds returned, I took a trip to the physical therapist, and now I am getting a migraine.
The expression on R's face in the last photo reflects how I feel!

I am working on putting together the chronology of scavengers who helped eat the deer carcass. Two coyotes came and went during the day that the carcass lay nearby. One of them had a weird bare patch on her head, as you can see in the next photo. Do you think that's mange or an injury?
The other coyote had no bare patches. In fact, he looked very fuzzy with a wet winter coat. He's a handsome canine!
Hopefully, my head will be well enough for me to look through more of the trail cam photos tomorrow!

    The rest of that coyote's fur looks pretty good so maybe it is just from an injury. Our little twin dancer now has the migraines her mom has - so hard to watch an 8 year old in such discomfort. Hope your subsided.

    The coyotes are neat! I wonder what is up with her head, too? If you lived anywhere else I'd say spring shed out..

    Could the coyote be shedding out? Maybe I just saw that possibility because I am surrounded by animals shedding out right now!
    Hope the migraine let's go of you soon. Take care!

    Sorry you have a migraine! Actually to me, the bare patch looks like a big chunk of winter coat got rubbed out. I know coyotes can do some really patchy molting come spring. That coyote is definitely looking wolfy with that pose however!
