Backyard Wildlife: Two Coyotes (Original Photos/Video)
The area got of dusting of snow overnight. The trees in the distance caught my eye because they were outlined in white. Snow was sticking to one side of the trees. And the way the sun was striking the trees looked like it would be a great picture.
As I walked toward the window with the camera. Suddenly I spotted two coyotes very close to the bird feeders. I immediately change my attention to the coyotes.

The two coyotes walked past my bird feeder area and started sniffing around in the high grassy area.

Animated GIF
One of the coyotes seemed to be looking for small critters hiding in the tall grasses. In this animated GIF you can see the coyote sniffing the ground then pouncing.
Original Video
The coyotes became very interested in a particular spot, marked it, and ran off into the woods.

Really amazing work done and in my opinion you have filmed and captured the amazing moments and the addon effect of these pictures are the color of the land means beautiful combination of white snow and orange color and for me the snow reflects as cherry on the cake effect on nature. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
Thank you!
Have a great week! Stay blessed!

Welcome and thank you so much. 🙂
those 2 coyotes were synced for some reason! What a shot, this is like Animal Planet Quality.... I've got see a couple of baby Deers and Wild boars here in Germany. Sucks, not carrying a DSLR with you all the time
I miss a lot of shots and videos I could take too because I am not near a camera. But those are the times you just store it in your mind as a memory.
Have a great week!

@etcmike lograstes unas imágenes muy hermosas, el lugar donde vives es mágico, cualquiera desearía poder tener ese contacto con la naturaleza, tienes mucha suerte.
Un gran abrazo y un beso.
It is very magical at times. My favorite time of the year, spring, is almost here. The magic happens when all the color returns to the landscape in the spring.
As far as lucky goes, I lived in the area five years before I chose this place to build my home. I researched several developments in the area and where I am had the most of what I was looking for in a neighborhood. Several people had their eye on the lot I chose for building my house. I was very fortunate the land development company held this lot for me.
It has been magical living here.
Have a wonderful day!

Nice shots. We just moved to West Bloomfield, Michigan and these roam around our backyard. A bit freaky for dog owners. They will go after pets.
Amazing creatures though. Thanks for sharing.
In my neighborhood the owners of small pets keep an eye on them. The coyotes have snatched small outside pets.
The coyotes moved into the area when the rabbit population was out of control. There were rabbits everywhere. Now the rabbit population is under control.
At night I often hear the howls of the coyotes outside my window as they roam the golf course. I have seen them in various places around the area when driving at night.
So far they are very weary of people. With golfing season picking up as spring approaches, I will see the coyotes less during the day.
It will be interesting to see if the population of coyotes increases in the near future.
The Canadian geese are back. I am not sure whether this will be another food source for them.
Coyotes have always been a part of nature in this area. I rather have coyotes in the area than Mountain Lions which are also native to the area. I would certainly be on my guard if mountain lions were roaming the neighborhood.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Success on SteemIt does not always happen overnight. I have been posting for about two years and I enjoy doing it, even when the price of STEEM is down.
Let me know when you start posting to SteemIt. It would be nice to see some photos and read some stories from the land down under!
Have a great week!
