| | Coyote and apple in rural New Mexico | Richard Hasbrouck captured this coyote in his yard, in the rural mountain village of Truchas, New Mexico. "When I looked out the window there was 'Trixter,' the name Navajos give to coyote. He was looking over some of our fallen apples. Fortunately, my camera was at hand so I was able to document him departing with an apple in his mouth." | | |
