Here's a recent game camera shot of a reddish coyote. I still haven't managed to get a better photo of the suspected melanistic (black) coyote. I think this one may be his/her mate. I've gotten a couple of shots of them together, but Red here is always the one in the foreground.
After viewing our previous shots, the local Extension agent agreed that the black canid was most likely a coyote. He advised me to bait the area with meat for a better photo. I'm a little afraid that would attract the wrong element though... stray dogs. There have been a few more of those around lately.
Linky fixed. Thanks for the heads up. Think I needed a Trenta coffee while blogging yesterday! ;-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot of that coyote. We're planning on getting a game cam soon. Just to take a look at a little of that night magic.
ReplyDeleteHow purposeful he/she looks.
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot like the German Shepherd in Flike's training class. I'm sure that coyote is better behaved though.
ReplyDeleteCool shot! She sure looks healthy!
ReplyDeleteI love the game camera. We might need to set up one of those in Asheville and see if we can get some good photos. Your coyote is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot. Great color.
ReplyDeleteAw, very charming picture and a great title!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. An early morning smile accompanied by a freshly brewed coffee is what blogging is about (for a European who reads mostly American blogs and is thus 10 hours ahead time-wise).
Sure is on a mission, eh? I just never get tired of the game cam pics, thank you for continuing to post them. BTW, I'm having a seed giveaway at my blog in case you're interested :)
ReplyDeleteWow that is some shot. I've thought about it but all I'd get would be racoons and bunnies.
ReplyDeletevery cool. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. Moves with intent, yet the bend of its leg seems almost casual.
ReplyDeletei love the game cam! id like to get one too. the ones a few posts down were cool in composition...would make interesting paintings. good luck at your show. (found you by way of edifice rex - who could resist a blog called rurality?)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for BIGFOOT to show up there.
