Once again thank you so much for the kind words and the warm welcome :) I got lucky to find such a nice coyote - one of the best I've seen really. Plus, not tags which is always a bonus. I'm just glad he was cooperative!

Thanks - I would LOVE to see them doing this in the snow!! I've been to YNP a few times in the fall when there was some snow, just never got it together with a 'vote - yet :)

Thanks again everyone :)

@George - Thanks :) This was with a Nikon D4, 600mm VR + 1.4TC. My settings were a little much this time - ISO 1000 and 1/3200th at F6.3. I was shooting Aperture Priority (I now usually use manual mode + auto ISO) and it had been a bit darker just before this image. The overcast became brighter as I approached the coyote and I should have dropped the ISO a touch since I could have gotten away with less shutter speed. However, the D4 doesn't really look bad at 1000 either, so no biggie.
