POST YOUR COYOTE (Canis latrans) PHOTOS HERE. Please specify where it was taken. I am primarily interested in wild specimens (wild includes urban environments), though captive/zoo photos that are particularly interesting are okay. If it was captive please state so.

I will start things off with one taken at sunrise at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson, USA.

Coyotes from Yellowstone, all wild. The first three I was outside in the cold at a wolf kill for several hours watching what took place. The fourth one was, I think, a pregnant coyote looking for food or seeking a place to land (very BIG stomach), although maybe it could have eaten a lot...The last one was obviously seeking something beneath the snow, which it did get.

Love it! Keep them coming!
@Viathelens Amazing sightings and thanks for sharing. One small note on your last image, which you may already be aware of? It looks like you used some software that had the odd side effect of rendering parts of the background much more blurry than others (especially noticeable in the upper left corner and the end of the coyote's tail).

I have noticed the same thing sometimes when I use Topaz Sharpen AI. I think the engineers need to work on it.

Here is a couple young ones.
NW Montana.

@Brute These are great. (Coincedentally when I was about to type I could hear coyotes starting to howl in the arroyo below my condominium). As per my initial post, please list the location. Thanks.

Found this beauty in Yellowstone last year

And I think I need to pay better attention! Sometimes I'm in too much of a hurry and that is when I goof up.

Lovely shot, Fred.

I really like the backlighting on the canine and grass.

Nice images. Something still looks off at the tip of the tail in the last image of the jumping coyote.

The first "lone wolf" is a very cool shot, worthy of printing.

Yes. We saw it out hunting in the field quite a bit.
We had a couple names for it. Don't know what sex it was but ,Ilean and Tripod was used a few times.

Wild coyotes, Sacramento County California

@Doug Herr All great, but that head shot is truly amazing.

Love these Bob! I have tried to get captures of the coyotes that cross the frozen river by our house but have never been successful.
