Coyote

Pretty intense looking - but I was lucky enough that he came close to the viewing area and I was able to get some clear shots. The coyotes at Northwest Trek are fed daily - so they don't have the scrawny look I always associate with the ones I see in the wild.
He doesn't look wild but probably is! Very close here - good focus!

@maggiemae - yes - I think he is young - he has a healthy looking coat. The other two I saw were not as photogenic.

We see so many of these in the wild around here, Although seeing them running down the middle of my street makes me worry for my kitties. Nice shot. So pretty.

He has a lovely heavy coat too.

He actually looks quite tame but I'm not sure I would want him running down my street as Valerie describes!! I suppose we have foxes running down the street instead stealing peoples chickens!!! @valpak

Nice shot!

Really beautiful. I think I would like to do that trek sometime!

We don't like them so much in urban green belt because they kill the cats;(... Awesome shot...they r nasty creatures!

Fantastic close up capture! Fabulous detail in the shot, Jan!

Fascinating to see one close up! They are nearly impossible to capture otherwise. I've gotten three different shots, but from a great distance.

He does look rather healthy compared to the ones we see around here. You snapped a wonderful image of him. I am sort of glad he is healthy, i hate to see skinny, wasting animals even the ones I don't like.

What a great capture! He does look healthy compared to those we see around here.

Great shot of him. He indeed looks well fed.

That's a great shot of a coyote usually you can't get close enough to them.

@martini007 @dakotaburns @pflaume @kareenking @grammyn @nanderson @mamamia @elisasaeter @anazad511 @paulaw @valpak @swilde - thanks for the comments on my coyote pic. He definitey wasn't tame, but the wildlife at NW Trek are used to people. They rely on the keeps for their food. We have a lot of coyotes round here - they are generally scrawny looking, and not a favorite - they will take cats, small dogs and other critters.
@sansjuan - Nita - I agree - I don't like to see them starving either. They control the rodent population but sadly also take cats, small dogs, bunnies, ducks, geese etc. Their screaming at night is un-nerving.

Wonderful, intense shot, Jan.

Beautiful capture.

OH! So glad this wasn't in your backyard! Haven't heard of any here for a year or two.

I it's beautiful, I know everyone hates them but I think they have an important role. Great capture.
