CAMPING AT COYOTE LAKE
Wild Pigs and a Full Moon
- Part 7 (of 7) -
Evening Foray
A group of wild pigs strolled by the camp site again this evening. Here we see an adult female with a bunch of piglets digging up the meadow grass in search of food.

I Can Dig It
These piglets are learning to find food by digging up the grass. They're cute, but they leave behind a mess.

Too Close
Adult wild pigs can be ferocious and this guy was getting too close, so I retreated.
This picture gives a good indication of the destruction these pigs leave in their wake. He's digging up the grass and leaving a muddy wasteland behind. That area was all green grass a few minutes ago.

Ring Around the Moon
The moon was bright that night, lighting up the camp site. The clouds and mist in the air created a bright halo.
