I was minding my own business looking for birds in woodland today when some other folks with loose dogs flushed a coyote, I heard a noise and turned to see the coyote running straight at me. Then he saw me and realized I was a dangerous Scot and ran past. I didn't think and just fired off a few frames.

Nice shot, didn't realize they ran like that. Way to be quick on the draw.

How cool is that?! Awesome shot, Bill.

Where's the roadrunner?
Seriously, that's a nice catch!

Quick thinking and a good catch, Bill!

Great timing, Bill. Very cool shot.

Very cool shot Bill...and aren't all Scots dangerous??

You've got a quick draw, Bill !
It's hard to image how wildlife photographers got these shots prior to autofocus.

Nice capture, Bill. Good reflexes! I like that the teeth are visible - small detail, but I like it nonetheless.

Would be nice to see the eye but it is what it is. I suppose if I could see the eyes and the teeth I'd be in trouble!

The collage is nicely done.

Super Dog. I didn't realize a coyote could fly

I got a couple of frames where he is flying! Cool stuff. Presumably that's technically a gallup! Looks a bit like a Superman impression though!

Nice sharp action shot Bill! Like the collage as well.

You're pretty quick for an old guy. I never would have reacted in time. Really nice shots, Bill.
