As my friend Jeannette and I started up the grassy Bolinas Ridge Trail from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, we encountered a calf, attached to its mother and nursing right on our path. We paused so as not to disturb the duo, and while waiting we spotted a coyote, who was also concentrating on the calf. The mother noticed the coyote too, and there ensued a three-way standoff. One could almost sense the coyote salivating, but the formidable presence of the mother gave him pause. Eventually the calf and the mother joined their bovine cohort, the disgruntled coyote moved on to seek easier prey, and Jeannette and I continued on our walk.
