Nice shot of a supremely intelligent creature. The community college where I taught for 31 years was bordered by a forest preserve. I used to see a dog sitting on the side of the road until my brain corrected me: "Coyote!" They'd always check the traffic before crossing and then wait on the median, checking the other side. Their adaptation to us is really impressive. It has been reported that coyote populations all around the Chicago area have risen exponentially in recent years.
Thanks for the comments. This coyote had as pretty a winter coat as I have seen. They have dens in our town, population about 100,000.
