I photographed this young coyote at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. Although I didn’t spot the mother coyote, she was likely nearby, keeping a watchful eye.
I first saw this coyote pup on Saturday near the start of the refuge’s auto tour road. When I returned on Sunday, I found it again about 100 yards from the original spot. Each time I got too close, it darted into the cornfield for cover.
The first photo was taken handheld with my camera and lens. For the second photo, I used a bean bag to stabilize the camera, resting it on the open window of my pickup truck.
