This is one of two coyotes in the area. Living in prairie land there is a plethora of rabbits in the area when there are no natural predators. But the rabbit population was quickly put in check when the coyotes moved into the area.
This coyote is at the limit of my 300mm lens.
While editing the video I realized that this coyote was favoring one leg/paw. Made me wish that the coyote did find some critter hiding in the grass

seeing this Coyote for the very first time
good post. can make me and all readers interested and follow you .. really be an example in writing .. i like your post .. thanks for sharing ...
@etcmike, pobre animal enfermo y buscando la manera de alimentarse, opino igual que tú Ojalá y encontrara un conejo para poder comer.
nicely taken Video buddy !Though a little blurry coz of the zoom but it sure seems fine !
I almost didn't process it and focus it because it was a bit blurry. The lighting was not the greatest either. It is rare to see a coyote this close to my backyard, so I processed the video and posted it.
If I am fortunate enough to video the coyote again under better conditions, I will post it.
Have a great day and happy New Year!

Wow Excellent photography
Oh my goodness, there was an actual coyote in your backyard! Looking out your window must be the most exciting thing everyday hahaha! You never know what you'll see!
Yes, there is more wildlife in a backyard than you can imagine. A lot of critters come out at night. So I don't see them all.
Occasionally, there are reports of Mountain Lions in the area.
Happy New Year!!

sweet, well captured @etcmike, we have a fox that some times go by our house, will try to get a shot of it! :)
Thank you!
And thank you for your efforts to promote SteemIt and the STEEM blockchain.
I will be following you. Hopefully, I will catch your post of the fox that goes by your house.
Yesterday when I went downstairs to workout the coyote ran right by my bird feeders. That coyote always seems to run by close to my house when I am not near the camera :)
Have a great day!
