Wary Coyote keeps watch as it heads back to its hiding place

This good-looking creature was on the prowl early one morning this past weekend in an open field. It didn’t seem to mind my presence as I came to a stop and trained my camera on it. Unfortunately, a second photographer came along right then and that seemed to be too big of an audience for the Coyote. It quickly headed off into the tall prairie grass only allowing me to grab a couple of shots as it departed.

Coyotes are amazingly adaptable animals and have not been greatly impacted by human expansion. Here in the area I live, this has resulted in some human – coyote conflicts, mainly with the coyotes attacking domestic pets. They range across North America and some have even been seen into Central America and Panama.
