The Coyote (canis latrans) - Post one, comment on one

I finally saw a coyote this winter - - I used to see them regularly but for whatever reason its been quite a stretch since I had seen one - - finally saw one on my drive home along Airport Road just north of Brampton / Caledon area.
He was crossing a farmer's field and heading towards me parked on Airport Road - - I simply sat put in car since it serves well as a blind in these situations
Winter 2008 - Blacktail Plateau
Coyotes have an incredible range in size and coloration; coyotes from the north are larger, averaging 75 pounds, while those farther south, such as Mexico average 25 pounds. Adults have a grizzled buff grey coat with the outer ears, forelegs, and feet brownish or yellow. Their throat and belly are usually a light grey to white; a grey-black band, sometimes very faint, runs down the mid-back. A shoulder saddle of black-tipped hairs is typical and the tip of the tail is black. Coyotes that live in the mountains tend to be darker while desert coyotes tend to be more yellowish in color. They may have cinnamon markings on their face or along the sides of their body.
Why do we close our eyes when we cry, kiss or dream? Because the most beautiful things in the life are not seen, but felt only by the heart......

Hunting in our area this winter has been more difficult for the coyotes because of the lack of heavy snowfalls which usually benefits their ability to bring down whitetail deer for feeding their winter formed packs. Despite that fact this adult coyote appears to be in pretty good shape as it emerges from the concealment of heavy brush. Just prior to disappearing into the brush this adult was accompanying another adult coyote out on the ice but they separated so I don't think they are a bonded pair. This one may or may not be hunting to feed a female with pups in the den. If the pups aren't born yet they will be soon.
This one is giving me a good lookover as it heads into heavier cover.
Just arrived at our Massachusetts house for the summer. This coyote was relaxing and sunning itself near the woodland in our gardens. Looking quite at home.
The coyote is a member of the dog family and is a species of canine native to North America.
Canis latrans has a wide distribution throughout North America, including Mexico, and into Central America.
It is smaller than its close relative, the wolf, and slightly smaller than the closely related eastern wolf and red wolf.The species is very versatile, especially in its ability to exploit human-modified environments.

"A Good Stretch to Make More room for Food." Finally, I have found a creature that like to eat the green of the Watermelon! Caught this shot in Yellowstone National Park. No, I did not contribute the melon. This beautiful coyote found it on his own. After several snacks on the melon, a long stretch made room for even more food.
I have been looking for this Coyote for a very long time. Finally was able to photograph him today.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
It was so much fun watching this coyote hunt the fields. He or she was a successful hunter and caught many little creatures for a snack.
This coyote was down by the lake, and looks like it had seen better days. Definitely could use a good brushing! This is an older shot, so at least it wasn't during the latest heat wave.
Coyotes could be heard and seen at Bosque del Apache, but our experience was that they were always at some distance. One morning I decided to walk a bit along the road inside the park and turned to see a coyote walking right toward me. I just had time to kneel and slowly raise my lens as he walked within 15 from me. Another ran by in the underbrush but this guy, while keeping a keen eye on me, was acclimated enough to humans to chance a close encounter. (Canis latrans)

One more oldie before I get back to some more recent photos. This coyote was blending nicely with the dried grass setting in Big Bend National Park, Texas.
When we came around a bend this beautiful Coyote walked towards us stopped at a distance and watched us for a few seconds. Then he ran off as if he changed his mind. I was so thrilled to get few pictures of him :)
Many thanks to all those who view, fav & comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
This is an image from a trip to Yellowstone a few years ago. With Yellowstone, it takes a few days or longer to get a sense of what is going on with the wildlife; where the dens are located, where there's been a kill, what's the best place to get lucky and get a sighting and hopefully a photograph. I learned the general area where there was a Coyote den and managed to get there during the female's relocation, cub by cub, to a new unknown location. I believe she moved the remaining cubs during the night as there was no activity days following. (Canis latrans)
Living in the countryside, we often hear coyotes yipping and howling at night but almost never see them during the day. . . a good weekend to everyone. . .
Found this beautiful coyote hunting. It was kind enough to accept my presence and we spend some quality time together. Love those moments.
I found this coyote hunting along the river, didn't see it catch anything, but it was a a beautiful scene.
An Eastern Coyote in the scrub growth as it crosses a field. This one was following another and both seemed to be in hurry not stopping to look back. Taken at a distance.
Thank you for viewing
Same coyote as the previous picture. Yesterday, I was photographing some deer when another deer came running out of the woods. Behind her was this coyote chasing her at full speed. The two ran right past me within feet of where I was standing. The deer got away and the coyote noticed me and headed for the woods. Here the coyote turns and looks at me one last time.
