18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Coyote With Deer Carcass
I had been returning to the same spot on the Housatonic River for quite some time. One day I noticed a deer carcass across the river that, I assumed, had been hit by a car and made it to the river's edge before it died. I watched it for about a week as it started to deteriorate. One day a coyote showed up and began to feed on the Carcass allowing me to take the photograph.
