Dateline: 9 August 2026
Interrupting Insect Week+ with breaking news from sunny Arizona, outside the town of Show Low, of BirdingPI.com staff being “beset upon” by wild canids, namely a pack of Coyotes (Canis latrans) near Pintail Lake:
A beautiful female Coyote:
And her 4-5 amazingly cute adolescent pups:
These Coyotes appeared to be visiting the remaining wet portion of the Pintail Lake complex (series of marshes/shallow lakes) for a water break; BirdingPI.com staff happened to be in the vicinity. When the pups in question headed in their direction, it was time to skedaddle oppositely, to avoid any sort of confrontation with these amazingly beautiful wild canines. #nature_wow
