We saw a red tailed hawk today, and a coyote. I suppose those aren't unusual sightings for this area, but hey, I'd never seen a coyote before. He was taking a pair of jet boots from an ACME box, in an attempt to catch a clever roadrunner. The last we saw, he had chased the road runner off a cliff, and didn't fall until he realized he wasn't on terra firma anymore. Actually, the coyote we saw was just prowling the streets of Los Alamos at 9:30 at night. The streets are already pretty much empty by that time.
The hawk was on a telephone pole on the side of the road, then it swooped down right in front of an F-150. it missed whatever varmint it was going for, though, and the Ford missed the hawk, so no wings were lost and there was no injured animal to take to the New Mexico DNR for rehabilitation and use in children's wildlife show-and-tells.
I'll let you know when we come across elk. Haven't seen any yet, except in burger form.
