LAST WEEK: Camouflaged Coyote, Bird Buddies And Snowstorm

Debbie Garcia took this amazing photo of a coyote on the ice of the Fox River.

Kristen Jacobson, of Oak Forest, photographed this woodpecker on her son's arm. They found the bird laying in the snow and thought it was injured. Her son picked it up and the bird walked up his arm.
