I purposely get up early enough to recharge with coffee, and watch the sunrise. I also go outside to take in a breath of fresh winter air. Even if it's just a minute. Some days, I catch a beautiful sunrise, some days I see animal tracks, some days I see the beauty of mother nature in wild animals.
I took these photos, not realizing I what I would see. It was quite a sight to watch, as it appeared the largest buck was standing guard, while the rest of the herd got into the woods nearby.
What I didn't expect to see in the photos. A stalking coyote.
Keeping an eye on the coyote.
I hope you enjoyed the photos. They are not the best, as I am using an older camera, but still pretty good. My husband gifted me a new camera for Christmas, but due to a problem with it, it had to be returned. A new camera (we are going with something else this time) is being sought out, and hopefully soon.
We are getting more snow, and they are still predicting a big dip in cold temperatures.

Beautiful photos. Nature always has it's surprises. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Blessings,

I love this photo series, and the fact that you caught the coyote mid prowl is pretty fantastic! He must be seriously hungry if he thinks he can take down a healthy adult deer by himself.
We saw a coyote not too long ago. It cut through the yard and seemed to have no concern that humans were nearby.
Your pictures are awesome. I haven't seen a coyote in awhile. The last one was running down our street nursing a hurt paw and being followed by a truck.
God bless.
Betsy, you are welcome. Glad you enjoyed them. I was shocked at what I saw after I started taking photos.
Anne in the kitchen, it is very cold here right now, so it would not surprise me if he/she was that hungry.
Sandi, they usually do not care where they are. One year we had one cutting through our property several times. No care in the world.
Jackie, they are a huge problem here. I haven't seen one in a few years. They prey on small pets, stray cats, and other small animals. I was also told, if we ever have fox problems again (which we did one year), that is how you know you have a coyote problem (they prey on fox too).
