I was at a local park very early Friday morning to hunt a geocache. As I was walking to the cache I looked up and saw a coyote.
He noticed me about the same time so we stopped and looked at each other. He was nice enough to hold the pose so I could get this shot.
Then he trotted off. I was able to get this last shot of him. As I was walking another coyote came out from the woods to the left. He didn’t stop so by the time I got my gloves off and camera out, turned on, and pointed in the right direction, he was gone.
I was worried about one thing though. They had come from the direction of the geocache so I went to check it out.
Nope, they hadn’t found it before I did. Whew.
Well, I’m glad that went well!! You do have interesting adventures with your Geocaching! Great capture of the coyote and how nice of him to pose for you!! Stay safe and have a great weekend!

That is so amazing. I only captured their sound. Coyotes singing in our forest http://bit.ly/swKbUk
Are coyotes dangerous animals? We, of coourse, don’t have them in England but hear their call on wildlife programmes.
We were at our daughters house at 38th and Harvard and there was a fox in the front yard. That surprised me.
Great sighting, at least the first coyote posed for you some. They seem to be timid around people.
A confrontation with the wild side of nature. They are pack animals so normally they will not come closer. Good you had the opportunity for such a nice shot.

I’ve seen several coyotes in our area this year but it is always in the evening and they are always on the move. I have yet to capture an image of one. Nice work.
@Leedslass – I don’t think they are generally dangerous to humans but they sure are hard on the family dogs and cats.
Nice sighting.
I don’t think I would have been able to get this shot. I would have been too freaked out!
Your coyottes appear to be similar to the foxes that roam freely here.
They’re beautiful animals but have been known to get into houses and attack children. It’s the same the world over I suppose, some animals are losing their habitat and so they get closer and closer to the towns and lose their fear of humans.
Gorgeous and very well captured!
Critters Post, happy holidays!
Great photos of the coyote! Thank goodness he didn’t get the jump on you and get to the geocache first!
Nice captures!
Phew!
I hope everyone in the area is keeping their pets indoors!
Congrats for finding the geocache before the coyotes did. 🙂
