E.L.Kalstein 1954 Conia lotins May 14 meadow 1/3 mile S Cast. Center, Yosemite Valley, Mergiza Co., Calif. 4000 ft. I pulled up along the main road N of the meadow at 8:40 A.M. (D.S.). 60 yards S of the road was an adult coyote almost oblivious of passing cars and my car. The animal quietly stalked among the high (5 to 18") dense green meadow grass, moving forward swiftly as it apparently heard the rustle of grass or saw movement. It moved about 50 yards S away from the road and disappeared behind tall (10') clumps of willow-like bushes. It then apparently circled around my study pad and continued westward down the large meadow. The stalking continued but without success. At 8:55 A.M. I lost sight of the animal among the clumps of grasses.
