Yesterday I saw this coyote pounce and come up with a vole, swallow it with a bit of a grimace, lick its lips, and then look very satisfied. Best viewed full screen so please click and open each photo! #coyote #notabird - ThreadSky

Very cool!

Sure lucky timing, Glen. For me at least, for the vole, not so much.

Ha, true! Must have been amazing to see!

The coyote certainly did look very satisfied. And the vole... Well, at least it's better for it to be eaten by a coyote, a real predator, rather than a squirrel. Which are now starting to eat voles. I'd love a photo of *that* :D

Wow, I didn't know that - and yes, that would be an epic photo!
