Coyote After the Rain
A Coyote standing on a hillside during a break from the rain. If it’s raining on the weekend, I’ll almost certainly be out in a nearby park looking for wildlife. Most of the animals are smarter than me, so I don’t see as much as I would on clear days, but the parks are much…

Perching Coyote
Whenever possible, Coyotes prefer to hunt by crashing down on unsuspecting prey. Chasing prey takes a lot of energy, and has a low chance of success. Much better to make short work of a tasty rodent when it’s least expecting it. A favored technique is to specialize in legally blind gophers who are able to…

And it matches this guy, who’s gone through a few things. This was one of those moments that you always hope for, but rarely get to experience in wildlife photography. I…

Coyote up on a Hill
A couple weeks ago, @riffle_shots was kind enough to show me his local coyote patch. We had a great morning wandering around the park, occasionally getting brief moments with the local Coyotes. The park provided much different looks than I get in the rolling coastal prairie of Point Reyes. This Coyote has a fairly dark…
