I have been very busy for the past 2 weeks and have not posted; in that time I was able to get a good photo of an Arkansas coyote. This guy was so focused on a Cottontail about 100 feet away that he did not notice me sneaking up with a camera:

Hi, Steve! I am the ‘waiting room’ friend of Joan’s she mentioned the other day. My husband and I are Missouri Master Naturalists. We all call ourselves “master’ with a lower case ‘m’ and tongue and cheek because how can anyone be a “Master” of our natural world: we learn something new everyday, like about your beautiful blog! Your area is one we have planned on visiting for a long time, and these pictures reinforce that. Thanks for creating this: I’ll be sure to visit often.
Tess
Thank you so so much, Tess !
