    Neighborhood coyotes

    I've been seeing a lot of coyotes around town lately, but I never guessed they were this close. These pics are shot out my back door. There were two cubs but one of them went back to it's den under my neighbors deck before I could get pics of both. Pretty cool if you ask me. I REALLY need to find somewhere I can take photography lessons though,

    Actually, they might also be gray foxes. Anybody know for sure?

    Definitely a fox. Beautiful animal, I wonder what he found on the ground!

    The coyotes around here sometimes cross-breed with wolves, so they're pretty big!

    Foxes love to den under porches, we had a family a few years back and they were so much fun to watch

    They coyotes around here are pretty small, I've seen a number of adults around the area, these just had such a 'puppy like' look to them that I was wondering if they were just cubs.

    I think he's licking up birdseed off the ground, he's right under the neighbors bird feeder and that's the only thing I can think of.

    Re: Neighborhood Foxes

    They came out for some better pictures, got both of them this time and I got a chance to watch them longer and got a better view of them. You're right, they are foxes.

    Wow. They are so gorgeous! Most people here think they are a nuisance. I can't understand why. Sure, they might be scavengers, but they are so pretty!
