This skinny coyote forced by the Southern California drought comes down from the hillsides to this residential trail searching for food and water. This coyote has abandoned the cover of night and did not seem worried by my presence. He was also alone. Usually in this Claremont California suburb coyotes only come out at night, travel in packs and avoid people. There is a note of desperation about this coyote engaging in such atypical behavior.
