Coyote in Ground Blizzard

Animals must endure the cold and wind.  There is some refuge in the trees, but when they need to travel in the open they must push into the wind or be pushed by the wind.  This coyote was traveling across Lamar Valley through sagebrush, which didn’t provide much protection.  The image shows in a simple, clear way the struggle involved just to move about in this country during the winter.
