A few years ago editor and I visited Malheur Refuge in remote Southeast Oregon.  This was before the infamous “occupation” by a fringe group.  We got a visual treat starring a coyote and a pheasant.  The coyote would approach the pheasant and the pheasant would fly fifty feet out of range.  The coyote would approach again; the pheasant would fly off again.  Neither party seemed particularly excited.  It seemed they may have played this game regularly.  We watched for a few minutes, but we had other things to do and it appeared that this game could go on for hours.
