While birding the Milwaukee lakefront I came across a Coyote. The Coyote was on to a couple of little critters, maybe field mice/voles under the snow but never captured one to eat. It roamed out of the area it was in out of sight. A breezy morning with temps around 30 degrees, cloudy skies, it felt like winter. Images were taken on December 31, 2019.

What a beautiful canine, the Coyote…

Maybe hears something, it is sniffing too.

Working its way towards me as it must hear or smell something…

On to something maybe a mouse or vole…

Just looking…

Turns around and off it goes, then out of sight…

Doing some birding along the lakefront in Milwaukee I came across this stunning mammal. The Coyote just stared at me, eventually it moved on away from me. Images were taken on November 26, 2017.

A beautiful Coyote that gave nice looks for a few minutes…

Doing some birding in Grant Park this morning I came across this Coyote. Always exciting to see one of these and to think they are in the woods many times just watching you. It was a mild day for February with temps around 42 degrees and mostly sunny skies. Image was taken on February 14, 2017.

On a birding run, I ran into a beautiful Coyote hunting in a field down near Milwaukee’s lakefront. I watched it for awhile and took a few pictures. I was a distance away so it continued to hunt after I saw it and on one occasion it captured and ate a mole. It saw me after a few minutes and started to walk away. A fun little event as birding was slow today. Images were taken on November 25, 2015.
