He had heard a vole and was quietly stalking it. He got over it, but never got it on that day.

You had an hour of time invested, too I see!

I used to have a water bowl on the ground in my back yard for quail. Coyotes would often come and drink - while drinking, their beautiful golden eyes would be looking up and around for possible danger. Such wilderness in their eyes, one cannot help but be impressed.
