You don't often see them in daylight, usually dawn or dusk. When my
current dog was just a pup, I was stalked by a young inexperienced
Coyote. If he'd known his business I would never have known he was
there, as it was both the dog and I were well aware of his location the
entire time. OK, so he wasn't staking me per se, he was stalking the
pup, (who probably thought it was just another dog, the pup wanted to
meet and greet, the Coyote wanted to eat), I was much too big to attack,
so everything ended well for all concerned.
That is a lovely action shot.

beautiful animals! First time I've ever seen one up close.
Down by the lake yesterday two of them rounded the corner about 40 yards in
front of me. I thought they were dogs and was looking for their owner. Then
they walked into some brush and decided to make a run for it, right past me on
a path.
I had my M200 f4.0 on the camera and everything on manual so I just snapped and
hoped for the best. It appears I had pre-set the right exposure and out of
about 1/2 dozen I was able to shoot, this was the most acceptable. Not as sharp
as I'd have liked and the framing is not the best (it's full-frame other than a
bit cropped of the left for balance) but I can say unequivocally it's the best
wild coyote shot I've ever taken:

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
