Since I'm so slow hiking uphill (inching uphill is more like it), I have plenty of opportunity to stop and take pictures of wildlife. There isn't much up on the rocks of Lumpy Ridge, but I got a few shots.
Below is something small that yipped. I'm guessing it was a coyote pup. The white spot on its tail is where the sunshine peeked through the trees... his tail was actually dark and bushy, but here you're seeing it edge on. The little thing was about the size of a large cat, but this was no cat. Knowing that where a coyote pup is walking around, there is likely to be a fully-grown coyote mama around somewhere nearby, I decided not to linger too much longer.
This woodpecker was really busy. You can see the holes he's made in the tree.
This little chipmunk didn't have the eye stripes that many of them have. Female, maybe?
Here's a bunny that obviously was nearsighted. I stood still and he wandered right up to me. The sound of the camera shutter startled him and he jumped about 3 feet in the air and took off like a shot.
