Of course, if we’re to believe Looney Tunes, wherever there are roadrunners (see yesterday’s post), there are sure to be a few wily coyotes just around the corner. According to Wikipedia, however, coyotes have not been known to successfully attack roadrunners as prey — which, now that I think about it, would be pretty consistent with old Wile E’s success rate in the cartoon. These coyotes were some of the skinniest that I have seen, but they were also pretty good looking — lean and clean with nice coats and not mangy or scraggly like others I’ve come across in desert areas.

Oh man, this one is going into the Hall of Fame, it’s gonna get a Pulitzer, a place on a Wheaties box, and will go on the cover of National Geographic. The quintessential coyote “look,” the eyes, the tongue, the background, the legs, the ears, the colors, the contrast, the focus, and everything else coalesce to deliver the perfect photograph. Marilyn Monroe doesn’t have anything over on this guy, nor does Eisenstaedt on you.
Very scary looking. The coyote population on Cape Ann is growing. It’s no wonder they say we should keep small dogs and cats inside. Some years they wipe out our rabbit population. That face is sinister. I wouldn’t want to meet one up close and personal.
Hey Mom, they are harmless to humans. Unless you start feeding them and habituating them in which case they can become dangerous — something that can be said about a lot of animals.
Lean and on full alert. Ready for whatever food comes along. His eyes and his ears are his most important sensors. He’s on full alert this one and his tongue and teeth are ready in anticipation. Great shot of an elegant animal Sean. Thanks again for your daily images which provide an inspiration for any photographer. 🙂

The one I saw in my neighborhood in LI was not nearly this good looking.
