.... so, I went up to Riverwood Conservancy to do a little bird watching.

  I turn to my right to focus my binoculars on a Red Bellied Woodpecker, then

 shift the binoculars to a lower branch to watch a Cardinal.  

And who do I see in the background, not more 

than 20 feet from me ... this coyote. 

 I never "backed" my way out of the park so slowly in my entire life!
