While In Shenandoah National Park I expect to photograph whitetail deer and turkeys, squirrels and some birds, I always hope to see some black bears and can't wait for that bobcat encounter. What I should have expected to see but never thought about it was coyotes. When I was there earlier this month I spent time both days photographing this coyote from a hill side. He dug and dug and came up with a mouth full of dirt numerous times. If he ever caught anything that first day he ate it before showing it to me. I have photographed coyotes numerous times in Yellowstone but never like the photo opportunity this guy gave me. I have also never seen a better looking coyote as this one. He looks like he eats well and had a very nice coat. You will be seeing some more of this guy from this day and the photos I got the second day.

He is a good like coyote. And these are some really nice pictures of him. Another great job.
Yep, he is one very good looking coyote! Nice background too! The details are super sharp, Brad! Awesome!
He is such a magnificent animal - young, fit and healthy. How kind of him to pose so nicely for you :-)
Fantastic shots and such a beautiful creature too :)
We have LOTS of coyotes around us, and I'm eager to get a chance to photograph one. Your photos are outstanding!!!
Good golly those are lovely photos. My whole family comes to my desk when I'm on your blog and we ooo and ahh together. :)
I've seen a coyote in the wild a time or two in Southern California but they were much grayer. This guy is just spectacular!
Have a great weekend. :D
nice! :-)
What a lovely, healthy looking coyote. I've been to the Shenandoah's and only seen deer and birds, never bears and never coyotes. I understand coyotes are making quite a comeback on the East Coast. Great photos!
What a beautiful looking creature! Great shots.
Awesome shots of the coyote. I have been to Shenandoah many times and have never seen a coyote there. Cool sighting.
Oh, yes, he's a real beauty, isn't he? Nice of him to pose for you instead of running away.

Brad,
I met you today at Big Meadows. Very nice site you have here and some of the VERY BEST eastern coyote photos that I have seen. I hope to run into you again.
