Yesterday, there was some excitement at the refuge. Steve Creek<\/span><\/a> and I photographed a Bobcat and Coyote showdown, and then we followed the Coyote.<\/p>\n

The Coyote first walked along a gravel road and then turned and went into a field. We got ahead of the Coyote and stopped where Steve thought it might reappear. It did.<\/p>\n

The following video shows that same Coyote heading towards the spot where Steve and I used his truck as a mobile blind.<\/p>\n

<\/lite-youtube><\/div><\/div>\n

The Coyote continued towards us, and I took this video. I stopped recording so I could take close-up still photos of the gorgeous creature in front of me.<\/p>\n

Sorry for the odd noises in the video, that was caused by me moving the camera or my hands on the beanbag.<\/p>\n

I believe, but am not 100% certain, that the Coyote is female. There are pups in the vicinity where I took the video and these images.<\/p>\n

The Coyote stopped running long enough for me to take several frame-filling images, and I am thrilled that she or he did. I adore Song Dogs and enjoy taking photos of them.<\/p>\n

It was amazing to see the Bobcat and Coyote interacting, and I hope to share more about that confrontation soon. The Bobcat ducked into the thick brush after chasing off the Coyote, and we couldn’t get more images of the wild cat.<\/p>\n

I am happy we followed the Coyote, that Steve knew where it might show up, and that both of us were able to take the images of the Coyote that we did.<\/p>\n

Hint<\/strong>: Paying attention to local wildlife photographers and listening to what they share is important. It helps photographers get better images!<\/p>\n

It was a pretty great day at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a>, despite the morning starting off with fog and clouds. More on that later.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
