We saw a large coyote out on the new ice this afternoon. We first spotted it walking around between Treasure Island and Ship Island, then it wandered over between Ship and Moose Islands. We watched it for quite a while with a spotting scope. It didn't appear to be on any particular quest or heading in any particular direction, and occasionally it would just sit on the ice and look around. We lost track of it over near Moose Island. With the ice so new (and thin) we were hoping the coyote wouldn't break through, but the ice was strong enough to support its weight.
