Coyote in the rain

It's always nice to get a picture of a coyote when it never sees the camera before the flash goes off. I try to hide the cameras and keep them low to the ground for smaller animals and still get all of a deer. The fur appears darker from the rain and the coloring this time of the year turns out nice in a night photo.

Coyotes should start shedding and get a patchy look in the spring, but this one still looks good.
