Nature in action

Two coyotes chase a deer across a pasture west of Fulton. After snapping this photo, Karen Stewart wrote in an e-mail that she yelled at the animals and the coyotes ran, leaving the deer alone. "Even though I interrupted the natural order of wild animals, I didn't want to see them kill the deer. They were in at least a foot of snow, but they were able to move fairly quickly," she said.
