Spirit of the Coyote
Uploaded: February 19, 2007 03:37:57
Coyotes typically have a tough life living in the wild and without question they are a real challenge to Ranchers and to their Livestock. Leaving their reputation aside, when you are able to go Eye to Eye with the coyote their immense physical beauty radiates and it is very captivating.

Wonderful portrait Jeff!! Excellent composition and detail!! #3964552Nadya Johnson February 19, 2007
This is AWESOME, Jeff! He is one handsome hombre! (I think they have a bad rap: many of the problems with these animals occur because we stuck developments smack in the middle of their habitat. They used to drink from my bird-bath down in Mexico, yet they never did attack my cats! I think it was because they still had their open range - endless miles of it. Also, my dog was half-coyote and he chased them off!) What an outstanding capture! Great shot, Jeff! #3964604Donna La Mattino Pagakis February 19, 2007
Such a beautiful portrait Jeff!! I feel sorry for the coyotes here in Southern CA. With all the construction going on they are being squeezed out of there natural habitat!! #3964699Jenny D February 19, 2007
