Summary

Description

A family of three coyotes was hunting prairie dogs along Big Dry Creek just south of Metzger Farm Open Space in Westminster and Broomfield, Colorado. This is the male. The female is shown in the next photo. There was also another coyote that appeared to be about a year old. It is common for one or more of the young coyotes to stay with the family for a year if the food supply in the area is adequate.

These are presumably the coyote family (pack) whose territory is south of Metzger Farm Open Space. The coyotes looked very healthy. As usual for coyotes around Metzger Farm, they quickly started moving away from me and wanted nothing to do with people.
