14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Lone Coyote

This coyote, a long way away from his/her mountain home, traverses a human trail in a desperate search for food. A lengthy dry period in the New Mexican desert has forced the coyote to leave its comfort zone and descend into the lowlands, in hopes for scraps.
