I found them in a field on the other side of a chain link fence. They seemed to know that they were secure there and kept an eye on me but didn't run.

Excellent shots!
The coyotes posed very nicely for you.
Most of the coyotes I encounter are pretty skittish.

Thanks Dave. Yeah, I thought this was a pretty unique opportunity. They seemed to have claimed this spot and were just hanging out in the corner of a huge piece of property that belonged to a school. They were in now way fenced in but I saw them there on numerous occasions driving by and 2 of the 3 times I walked down there. It's very rare for me to be able to just shoot at will like this with a wild animal. The property was raised up from street level which gave me a great perspective but I it was also a challenge shooting through the fence.
Gary, you may not get any falcon shots on your last trip to this side of the coast but the coyote images are really outstanding. I love the entire set!
