Beautiful Coyote

This one is really pretty coyote. It has lots of reddish brown fur in with the tans and greys. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any shots of its body because it ran off too fast. I was glad to see it and capture these pictures when it stopped and turned back to look at me.

They really don't like humans (gee, I wonder why!) so the fact that this one stopped to look at you is remarkable.

It looks healthy and alert.

Well done!

He was very beautiful with a thick coat. He looked very healthy. It was around midday. I don't normally see them out at that time. I know I would recognize him if I saw him again due to his different coloring. So in my mind I named him Rusty.
