In 14 days at the same set where I got the bobcats there were three coyote visits. In all three cases the coyote stood at the top of the bank and did not go up or down the trail that the bobcats were using. This lead to less than optimal framing of the coyote which I had to live with as my primary goal was getting good images of the bobcats. However all coyotes were looking straight at the camera so something about it caught their attention.

Christian and I went to go move the camera to another set and not 3 minutes after we left the camera this slightly mangy coyote came wandering by the old set.
It stood there and watched us for a minutes or two then trotted off. You can see it is having some mange issues especially in the tail. I think this is the same coyote we camera trapped on the 5th of December.
I had gone by the camera and set it to video for a couple of days just to give that feature a try. I will post more on this at some point but the video seemed to have a much slower trigger speed than still images so we only got a coyote in this video for the first second or two, but it looks to be the same coyote as the one above.
Later we had an encounter with a smaller looking coyote in the same area as we saw the one above, but did not get pictures of it.
