There it is again — a set of tracks which are clearly coyote — but slightly off. I know from camera traps that the smaller of a pair coyotes in the area has recently injured a hind leg. These tracks confirm she is still injured. Rather than the straight, narrow, and perfectly regular overstep trail of her mate, these tracks come down with a staccato burst of three feet, protecting a 4th leg, whose paw never touches the ground.
