Lars was out on Flagg Hill Pond, Stow MA skiing this morning. I found a long otter trail going over the ice and then returning, leaving many otter slides. A coyote track followed the trail. The otter trail went to a beaver lodge, ducked under the ice, caught a fish, ate it on the shoulder of the lodge (second photo), and left. Not 50 feet away, I found the coyote trail widen into a roll site, with the tasty fish head the coyote found. Just had to roll in it....

Very entertaining read, Lars. I can just picture that coyote squirming around on the fish head. He must have come away nicely scented.
ReplyDeleteA great find and a nice series of photos.
