Coyote Visage and Howl
This coyote visited our clearing yesterday, quietly trotting through and pausing under the birdfeeder. Needless to say, all the birds and squirrels instantly vanished when this canine appeared. I used my friend's incredible telephoto lens to capture his handsome visage. I feel like I can see his amazing intelligence in his eyes.
You may also enjoy hearing/seeing a coyote video that I captured last May. I posted it back then but it's become a favorite video. I hear the sound of coyotes howling so frequently but I almost never see them as they howl. A trailcam made that possible!

I love our coyotes and having them trotting through our clearing regularly. We mainly see them in the winter - so that's an upside to the consistently below zero temperatures recently!

ReplyDeleteDaisy ran under the desk, but Bella came out ready to take the coyotes on...
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
We hope the coyote has a safe winter. He is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting footage! As you say, it's rare to have an opportunity to see them while they are howling. Piper didn't even raise her head from her pillow. Which is a bit of a concern, really, as coyotes are a serious threat to the goats and other smaller animals here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, that telephoto lens is so worth every $US of its cost. He speaks with his eyes, and the howling, they are so loud< I had no idea of what sound they could make. Greetings, Jean.
ReplyDeleteSo was there a second coyote in the background at the first of the video? I thought I saw eyes.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is such a great capture of the coyote, KB! I've never heard coyotes howl like that however, most of my experience is what I hear on TV. Interestingly, Taffy didn't even seem the least bit interested....but she whines when she sees a dog on TV :0)
ReplyDeleteOMG that is amazing. I had no idea they howled like that. It is so loud and actually kind of beautiful in a way. Thank you for sharing this incredible post.

Hi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteWe have coyotes here, and wolves and foxes. The coyotes kill young calves, but slip away unseen. We can tell when these creatures are around because there are no squirrels or rabbits.
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
We live right on the order of large open space in CA so this is a very familiar sound. We have a large pack of coyotes that live in the hills across the street. Don't see them when they howl since its nighttime usually, so this was a cool video. My guys mostly ignore them and the sound.
