No Apparent Danger??

2008.06.17
A Coyote.. Not tame,but truly wild.. We met and this is the look I got. I wonder what my face looked like??

I hope he was licking his chops cuz he has already eaten and I wasn't on his menu??

We were NOT going to turn our backs on each other!! No Way!!

Oh good he has already eaten... WHEW!!

They are very pretty or handsome.. He got so close I couldn't fit him in my 400mm fixed lens.... AAAhh what an exhilirating walk..... Truly gets the heart to pumping a little quicker!!!

This is my new friend??? The last 2 mornings we have run into each other. We are both hunting and looking for ducks and any kind of bird that will give us the time to capture it. Only I use a camera and he needs the ducks or birds for breakfast.

Was I scared when we saw each other?? A little bit.. we were more curious about each other. I can tell you he did come with in 11 feet of me and tried to get behind me. Not a good idea. So we danced and I kept my hands above my waist and slowly backed off... My husband says if they have plenty to eat they won't go after humans... It's when the food supply runs low then the rules of the game change!!

Carley What an exciting experience, and what fantastic shots you got from it! Has his manner changed toward you since you have run into each other a few times?

CJLata I am not sure how I would handle a situation like this. You were so brave to take pictures.

vollenda He's gorgeous and these are beautiful photos of him. I like coyotes. I know they have a bad reputation but they are wily and will survive when most other predators will be driven away. I've also met a couple on my early morning walks, cool experiences for sure!

coralinad How cool! They make me laugh - have you seen the [url=http://dailycoyote.blogspot.com/Daily Coyote[/url]?

coyoteself GREAT Set!!! I love those lil guys. We have them wild around my house and my neighbor says there's a den on his property. The sad thing is, that as more city people move out here, they want the coyotes eradicated so that they can either sleep better at night or have lil rat dogs that are currently on the coyotes menu. Most of us who have lived out here awhile have a couple medium to large dogs and because a coyote is a bit more delicate than a large dog, they tend to leave them alone. Still, coyotes are fun to watch and "Try" to befriend.
