So this was pretty neat. Messing with some coyotes this weekend, taking pictures, and got to see some stuff happen.
Started off with these two knuckleheads.
I didn't hear anything, but the way those two perked up all the sudden, I think they must have heard another coyote howling. Then one of the knuckleheads trotted a few steps off from the other and started howling.
So, a couple minutes later, I look back over my shoulder and spot this guy trotting in to join the party.
The first two started out across the open field to meet this new comer. But when he was still a hundred yards off from them, he pulled up short and go ready to pounce.
I wish the picture I took of him in mid-air would have turned out, but it didn't. Turned out so blurry I just deleted it. But I did get a shot of him at the end of his jump.
I do believe this was the boss dog of this crew. I know he was a male - I got several pictures of him marking his spots. But before he got there, I'd been playing with the minds of the other two for awhile. They'd leave, I'd throw a different sound at them, they'd come back. At one point they even laid down and closed their eyes! But once this new dude arrived, as soon as he was done eating his mouse he started walking towards the thick brush and the other two followed him into it and I didn't see them again.
