The cute Coyote

A Coyote moves off through the tree line after having just challenged our Great Pyrenees dog through the fence. Sturgeon County.

The howl

Having just failed to tackle our dog due to the "inconvenient" fence a Coyote decides to let out a howl, warning or frustration? Sturgeon County.

The angry Coyote

A Coyotes tears up and down our fence line in apparent annoyance that it couldn't get at our Great Pyrenees dog that was trying to get at the Coyote with similar intention. Sturgeon County.

Isolation

A Coyote trots across a snowy field in Sturgeon County, taken through our bedroom window during the Covid 19 pandemic isolation.

Harrassment

A family group of Coyotes move off over Big Lake after having been chased by an off-leash dog. Lois Hole Park has become a large off leash dog park to the detriment of the wildlife that the loose running dogs harass and to the walking trails that have become littered with dog feces.

The glance

When fleeing a coyote will usually risk a quick look behind. This was no exception when we surprised each other by coincidentally choosing to occupy the same space at the same time, it fled and I prepared my camera expecting this look. It didn't disappoint and the backwards glance while turning made a great action shot. The coyote did not feel too threatened as it stopped for a short time and posed for a few photos before finally running off. Lois Hole Park, St Albert.

Hanging out in the storm
