He's almost got "the look" of his larger wolf cousins, too. The piercing stare that says "I could eat you in a heartbeat, if I felt like it. But I'll let you go. This time..."

I always enjoy seeing a healthy coyote, they are great sign of a strong ecosystem. I come from a farming background and we always used to have a few healthy ones around, very beautiful. Then the farmers got old, sold their land to be subdivisions. Now there are quite a few mangy, pathetic looking coyotes eating pets.
Funny you mention the wolf look, the next day I was walking on the Athabasca River with the fiance 100m behind me when I spotted a "pack of wolves", in their natural habitat!
So I dropped down to steady for a shot and remain "hidden" (on the middle of a rock bed, on a river...) and had the girlfriend do about the same 30 meters over. I was amazed at what I was seeing... until I realized they were coyotes... which then amazed me because I had never seen a "pack" of coyotes, only the rare couple. The girlfriend was petrified because she thought they were wolves and they were going to swim across 50m of frozen river just to eat us. Then I told her they were coyotes and she shrugged it off like nothing.
Now I owe everyone a quickly done photo to prove I saw coyotes
They were still far away for the DA-L 55-300, I did get some closer shots, but not before the group split up... they knew I was there
