Note: All photography is done from a safe distance & location. The wildlife' s welfare is paramount.
Lighting and landscape can play an intricate part in any type of photography and of course, it is entirely at Nature's discretion in the natural world.
As wildlife travels in his/her home environment, the eco-system may change. Depending upon the species, that change can be from grassland to forest within a short distance. Coyotes can live in so many areas because they are generalists, i.e. they are able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources.
So within a distance of less than half a kilometre, the coyote left a grassland area (Photo #4 & Photo #5) to enter a small boreal forest (Photo #1 through to Photo #3) and there's nothing like a fallen tree to lie behind & perhaps find a meal.
