Wolf Moon and other things

 I went to set up my camera equipment to get ready for the Wolf Moon, as I was taking a few quick pictures to adjust the setting I spied this Hawk outside my window. As I went to take some picture it flew off, but it returned a few minutes later. It came over to the bird feeders I have out. I thought it had scared all of the birds away, some had taken refuge in the Juniper bush and some movement caught the hawk's eye. It flew into the bush, out flew two Finches and the the Hawk was on the fence with dinner in its talon.

After getting a few shots it flew off. As I went to set the camera down I noticed some movement and took the camera to the other side of the house and caught this Coyote walking by outside my kitchen.

By now it was time to haul the tripod and camera outside and set up for the moon rise.

The Wolf Moon is just cresting the Sangre de Cristo Mountains outside Santa Fe New Mexico.
