This pair of coyotes was patrolling the shoreline on the estero side of Isla Magdalena this afternoon.

Once in Baja some local guides told me that the coyotes can catch crabs with their tales? They would dip their tales in the water and let the crabs
grab them then flick them on the beach. Folklore or ?bill erhardt - 7-26-2011 at 06:54 PM

I heard that too. Just might be true.
Hey...just great shots of the critters. TxsBob H - 7-26-2011 at 07:14 PM
Wow, great shots... love wild life!Ken Bondy - 7-26-2011 at 08:07 PM
Wonderful Bill, really enjoyed those. I think they are magnificent animals, masters of survival.nbacc - 7-26-2011 at 08:23 PM
Great shots..............enjoyed that. nancyzoesterone - 7-27-2011 at 05:38 AM
Hard to get just ONE photo and you got many and close ups, too. I have such respect for these animals and their survival instincts. Thanks for

There were two in front of my house yesterday AM, walking up the road toward La Bufadora just like a couple of tourists.
I've had one in my yard in the past. I really have to be careful since my dog thinks these are just other dogs to play with.BajaBlanca - 7-27-2011 at 08:13 AM
great photos ...
our dog rex's hair (he is an English Springer Spaniel) literally goes up on end when he sees coyotes ... and he spots them in the sand on the dunes,
where they totally blend in, waaaaay before we notice them. He runs and barks but keeps his distance. For a imported Brit, amazing how he knows that
coyotes are to be respected

Nice to see healthy looking ones. Interesting difference in the coats between the two. Pic #7 has a little pooch, like maybe embarazada.bill erhardt - 7-27-2011 at 07:31 PM
ola.....No, that one was a male for sure. Check the photo in #4. It appeared that the female was just starting to shed, and the male had completed

How's the fishing there Bill? Great wildlife shots!Eli - 7-27-2011 at 08:13 PM
Jerry......Although the conditions looked good - there was 75 degree water outside - I logged about 150 miles in search of wahoo, marlin, or
yellowfin, for nada. Only a couple of ambitious yellowtail that hit wahoo lures.
Actually this is at least a month earlier than the season over there is due to begin. But, in the five or six years I've been fishing the fall season
on the banks, this is the fifth or sixth July that I've made an exploratory trip to see if maybe this year somebody shows up early. Hope does spring
eternal.
It was good to get over there, however, and get a new track out the boca. The sands have shifted a bit.
And the coyotes on the way back in were a treat......bajajurel - 7-27-2011 at 08:37 PM
Hey Bill,
We sold our boat so no more hauling one 2000 miles on a trip. We are planning a trip to Mag Bay & La Bocana in Oct. I will get a hold of Roberto
to set something up with him or stay out at the island. Haven't decided yet.
The local fishing here sucks really bad. No tuna. I haven't read of an albacore, but the 1 1/2 day boats are getting some bluefin off San Martin
island.
I don't see much in the way of reports out of your area nor Santa Rosalia / Mulege either.Heather - 7-28-2011 at 01:07 PM
Cool photos!
I have some of a coyote I saw not too long ago at a cemetery in Oceanside, CA....it was just strolling along. I think it was a bit more filled out
than those guys!shari - 7-28-2011 at 03:21 PM
there are lots of coyotitos around San Roque where we have been living the last while and ya know what's weird....our German Shepard Shami has a
special bark for the coyotes...it's kind of a sheperd/coyote howl...really weird and she only uses it on coyotes...cool eh...so we always know when
there are coyotes around.
on another note...a fisherman finally got a yellowtail a couple days ago up by san pablo...so the season will start real soon....por fin.Phil S - 7-28-2011 at 04:16 PM
Great pic's. Reminds me of the time in the late 30's or early 40's when my grandfather had a run in with a pair of coyotes on his 'sheep ranch' just
out of Riddle Oregon. One night he lost six head to the coyotes. They were really torn up badly & dead (the sheep that is)!!!!!! I remember
that morning like it was yesterday that he came in mid morning cursing a blue streak. Grabbed his rifle and was gone most of the day. When he
returned, he was still cursing a blue streak. Didn't find them he said. He was running about 120 head, and without a sheep dog!!!!!!!!!! ( my job
on my occational visits with my folks was to be the one who jumped up & down in the burlap bags, stomping down the wool as they sheared the sheep.
I was about 10 years old in those days. Or something like that. (oops. Sorry. I didn't mean to highjack this thread)
