A first for me... Golden Eagle Valle San Antonio, Valles Caldera National Preserve Sept. 9, 2025 #Birds #Wildlife #Eagle #NewMexico

I believe this is the mate of the male coyote I call "Adonis". She is as beautiful as he is... very "Healthy" (read that as rotund) looking. In the last three photos she is waiting for dinner to deliver itself. She is laying beside a prairie dog tunnel waiting for the little rodent to reappear.
