Stalking the American Robin

People who live near the Coke Field have told me about watching coyotes 

trotting across the field and of foxes pouncing on field mice.

Hawks can sometimes be seen circling overhead, coolly awaiting

an unsuspecting rabbit to enter its line of sight.  

While I've startled up the occasional heron, the only bit of wildlife

I see regularly is the ubiquitous American Robin.

Today, I found myself on-line looking for illustrations showing

the differences between coyote and dog tracks

(the general shape of a coyote paw seems more oval

than a dog's foot) because I think I've gotten

excited over a track that's turned out to be the poodle

belonging to Harry, who lives down the street.

Watch as Sara, the Great White Hunter stalks puppies and kitties 

in her quest to photograph Speedway's urban wildlife.
