I had a very cool shot of a coyote just so in the middle of pure
unbelievable expansion of human intervention and the camera got ripped
off !

While watching the greenbelt path behind
my house I've seen a coyote 'cloak' by
stepping behind a bush as people pass.
The people passed by no further than five
feet from the coyote.

As to pictures, I can get all the coyote
shots I want. What I've had problems getting
is some good pictures of the burrowing owls.
They let you walk by them as close as 15-20
feet, but stop and point a lens at them and
they are gone immmediately. That, on top
of the fact that they are most active after
sunset makes it real hard to get a good picture.
