The coyote (Canis latrans) is traditionally associated with the American West, and many people don't know that they are becoming a common occurrence in Florida.
I have been trying to locate one to photograph for quite some time now, and today I succeeded in finding one in the area of the Moccasin Island parking lot west of the Viera Wetlands.
Although these photographs are not technically very good, I was pleased to have seen a Florida Coyote in the wild.......
It was just behind the barbed wire fence
A crop to show the face
Four clicks of the camera's shutter and he took off accross the field
One last glance back to see where I was, and he was off
