Feeding The Pack

Who needs burros? Our coyote was back for breakfast. There are piles of fresh bean-filled scat all the way up the wash and over the ridge into the next drainage, so I suspect the whole pack has been visiting. Three flashes of yellow and black flushed off the roof when I went out to snap a picture of the beans, most likely yellow-headed blackbirds. The temperature was 85 degrees at 5 AM and partly cloudy, a reminder that the monsoon season will be starting soon.
