Coyote - 9 Photos
The Will'-o'-The Wisp in folklore is an atmospheric ghost light seen by travelers at night. Coyotes even during the daylight hours seem to appear and disappear into the shrubbery & trees.
These were two coyotes on the hunt for food, patrolling across the Bow River in Calgary, AB.
The first was smaller & we basically spotted each other from across the water at the same time and then it was off (Photo #1 & Photo #2).
The second (perhaps the adult or the male) had no issues with a person safely positioned across a rather large moving body of water and just went on its coyote business, after having locked eyes for a brief moment (Photo #3 through to Photo #9).
