Speechless Sunday - A new coyote picture and its a good one!

By
Real Estate Agent with Chris Alston (Keller Williams Realty, Silicon Valley, California) 01338415

You all know that I love to take wildlife pictures.  This one was taken from my truck as I was leaving the other morning at my house in Saratoga, CA.  This Coyote was climbing one of my apple trees and eating the apples.  As I got into my truck, I decided to drive close to watch and take some pictures.  I took about 20, and these are the best two.

I looked up in my field guide, and found out that they are omnivores, so it is not unusual for them to eat apples.  Huh, who would have thought?

Coyote

In this picture, you can see him finding the apples that he knocked off the tree. See the fresh green leaves on the ground?  That directly underneath where he was climbing in the three!  LOL!

I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

I love those pictures, and the later one you posted of him in the tree.  He does look healthy...I guess what they say about an apple a day is true!

Hi Chris - How beautiful! I've never seen either a coyote or a picture of a coyote so close up. It's coloring and eyes are just riveting. Thanks for sharing these.

That is too cool!  Our little neck of Saratoga is WAY too suburban to get a coyote.  We get a few coons but that's about it.  All they do is scare the cats.

A little scary, I think I am afraid of them.

But I love the photos.

Chris--I love that I learned this from your post!!  I had no idea.  I always just feel sorry for the ones I see here in Indiana.  They look so skraggly and hungry.  Just can't believe they eat apples.  I am going to look them up too to see what else I don't know!

Chris, I love that last photo you posted. I have never seen a coyote in real life. But yours seem quite healthy. It must be all those apples!!
