Coyote Second hand emotion

Coyotes at Fermi. Yesterday I went looking for one of those cute "animals in love" moments for Valentine's Day. This is as close as I got. I made a coyote calendar. Check it out at: www.cafepress.com/hardrain1 This male was with two females. He attempted to breed with the second as well. I did some research on coyote breeding habits and found conflicting information. Some sources state they are monogomous. Some state that the alpha male mates with all the females of a pack. I do not know if the coyotes at Fermi form a pack. I see them alone or in pairs. This is the first time I have seen three together. In other areas I have seen true packs of eight or so.On blackMy stocklistExtremely busy of late. New job assignment has me working long hours M-F and weekend schedules are full watching my kids play soccer, basketball, and softball. My previous assignment had quite a few weekdays off when the kids were in school...perfect for photography.
