Coyote with kitten in mouth, Nevada roaming

[Okanagan]

Rambling through Nevada, one morning as it got light to see I pulled out of a motel parking lot and met a coyote trotting toward me down the middle of main street.  He was a spindly, leggy young coyote born in April or May and he had a kitten dangling from his mouth.  He was doing a getaway prance with his prize swinging back and forth to his gait.  He crossed 20 feet in front of my bumper.

I roamed state and country roads, vast deserts and mountains, a few small towns like Tonapah, all new to me.  Port Angeles, WA to Payson, AZ and back.  3464 miles.  Loved it.
