A rough morning for a mother pronghorn

Shortly after sunrise this morning, I looked out our window to check on the pronghorn fawns across the river. I saw the mother standing just over a ridge, and I could see the heads of two fawns nursing as they peaked above the ridge. Ah, they made another night. And the weather looks beautiful this morning, so they should finally get to feel a warm sunny day. I went about my morning routine - But remember that coyote we had seen in the vicinity? Within an hour, the scene had changed dramatically....

The chase went over that ridge where I had seen the fawns just an hour earlier. We'll keep you posted....
