Coyotes in San Francisco
My interest in photographing Coyotes and other predators was first sparked by an encounter with a Coyote at Fort Mason. It’s somewhat ironic that most of my subsequent Coyote photography has occurred in Point Reyes. After chatting with @riffle_shots on Instagram for a while, we found time this weekend for him to show me urban…

Coyote Growth Spurt
They sure grow up quickly! I’ve started to recognize a few of the Coyotes in Point Reyes, especially the more bold and curious ones. I first photographed this one in early September when it was still a coltish adolescent with fine fur. Two months later I saw it again in the same area. It’s still…

Coyote at Sunset
Just as the sun was getting ready to set while I waited for another animal to make an appearance, this coyote stopped by for a visit.

Blue-Eyed Coyote Face-Off
Face-to-face with a blue-eyed Coyote. This was taken at 250 mm. I watched this coyote circling a pond. As he came back around, he headed right towards me. I got all the way prone, zoomed out, and photographed him as he passed within 6 ft of me. It’s like I was part of the scenery—such…

Molting Coyote Encounter
From the beginning of the summer, a glimpse of a molting coyote. It still has its thick winter coat on its hindquarters and head, while its front legs and torso are showing the summer coat.

Indignant Coyote
This Coyote had been napping in a field when a Tule Elk bull stumbled into its personal space. The Coyote was very indignant, barking and howling to try to stand its ground. The bull bugled back, refusing to be dislodged. Eventually the Coyote left in a huff and the Elk to returned to bugling at…

Returning to Point Reyes
I first visited Point Reyes almost exactly a year ago, at the beginning of August 2022. Since then, it’s become my favorite wildlife photography destination, with over 30 trips in just in the past year. I wasn’t able to do much photography in June and July. Finding myself in need of a short vacation, and…
