Coyote in Yellowstone National Park sitting on a frozen river with some open water. When they see a fish, they start jumping up and down and splashing the water. Don't know if they ever catch a fish, but fun to watch.
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......

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.
A lone coyote heads into the sun either looking for its last meal for the day or to seek shelter when the sun drops behind that mountain.
The Black pole in the distance is a fence post! HFF!
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.
Coyote take a break from snapping at the swarm of bees that were harassing him to survey his surroundings for any other dangers.

After fishing in the shallows, this coyote walked to the top of the rocky ridge to revel in the morning sun
when coyotes run off from danger (humans) they have the habit of 'stopping to look back' which has lead to the demise of many coyotes over the years by hunters....but, it gives photographers a quick opportunity ~
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.
This large coyote trailed women walking their small dogs on a provincial park wildlife trail in the country near where I live. It would intimidate them, sometimes coming as close as 20 feet.
I tried four times with a long lens to get close to the coyote without success. It likes women with dogs much better than me because I could not get much closer than 200 yards.
This coyote walked across the road and just paused right outside my car window allowing for some nice portraits. The coat on this individual was beautiful.
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.

"Coyote, Canis latrans, is a canine native to North America. It is smaller than its close relative, the gray wolf, and slightly smaller than the closely related eastern wolf and red wolf." – Wikipedia
Once I realized this wasn't someone's beautiful dog, this became a test of how quickly I could put down my cuppa to dash outside in my pjs, staggering and banging gear and heavy tripod ;) My husband finally helped.
A joy to see this morning!
(See previous photo or link in first comment.) There were two coyote that I saw and photographed together, but all one could see was the tall grass and ears.

Friendly looking coyote watching me head down the neighbourhood hiking trail. I wish that this happened more often!
Found this beautiful coyote hunting. It was kind enough to accept my presence and we spend some quality time together. Love those moments.
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)
I usually have my closest encounters with coyotes at this time of year as they move into their mating season. I'm very familiar with this particular coyote and he brazenly passed close by while patrolling his territory.
I found this coyote hunting along the river, didn't see it catch anything, but it was a a beautiful scene.

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.
I know a very bad photo with low resolution, but a magical moment for me, without a good camera or lens.
I want to dedicate this photo to a coyote who got caught up in traffic on a freeway bridge and leapt to his death a stones throw from where this photo was taken. And if you think coyotes don't belong in the city, please remember it is us humans who have encroached on them not vice versa.
Happy Solstice and be kind to wildlife <3
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on ,y photos it is greatly appreciated! <3
This coyote has given me some great photo opportunities lately. He has been seen in a cemetery that also has fields, woods, and a swamp area surrounding it.
