Erika and I, along with a dozen others at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge on 12 March 2021, observed a Coyote. Coyotes inhabit all of Washington in almost all habitats, including urban ones. Twice we have seen Coyotes at our house. This Coyote was intently digging at the edge of the marsh. It held its tail high. Occasionally the canine jumped upright and back to where it was digging with its forepaws and probing the ground with its snout. We are not sure if the Coyote was actively hunting or playing with some unfortunate prey. Oddly, the Coyote remained in the same location for at least an hour. We would have thought that most Coyotes are shy and would not remain long near all the people watching.
