Nice pics! Here in the midwest Coyotes can be major problems, especially when they breed with domestic dogs. It's amazing how adaptive they can be too!

Your coyotes look different than the pack that roams next door to me. Ours are larger without so much brown in their color. We like our coyote neighbors.

nice pictures! Out here in Southern California, coyotes run wild in the mountains. For the most part, they do not bother anybody.

Great pictures Jason! I saw a coyote at Copper Mountain ski area, in the middle of winter running down a ski slope! It is amazing how many there are out there.

Very nice pictures. We have them down here near Canon and Pueblo as well. I hit one with the car one night. The next morning I saw "what" I hit, I felt so bad.

Jason, I love the photos. I actually saw a coyote in central Denver this last week at about 5:30 in the morning. It was along Speer at about Downing. What a shock! Or...maybe I was sleep driving and just dreamt it.

Thanks for the comments. I feel fortunate to live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I can stand on the deck of my house and see bear, bobcat, mountain lion, and herds of deer just to name some of Colorado's great wildlife.
