A game of sorts: Look for coyotes. Zoom in for a closer view. Attune yourself to subtle shifts and signs. Sit with the landscape as it changes over time. I share my city with a small population of coyotes. For a long time, I never encountered them. Often, they camouflage perfectly within their surroundings. Often, they notice me first, then vanish before I have a chance to notice them. Over the recent past, as my interest in coyotes has grown from fleeting curiosity to dedicated study, my senses have also adapted to better detecting them. Even so, every day I spot a coyote is a lucky day indeed.
