It has a slender build, pointed muzzle, bushy tail, & yellowish-grey fur that provides excellent camouflage in open terrain. Coyotes are highly intelligent & opportunistic, with a distinctive howl that is a familiar sound across the continent. **Habitat** Coyotes inhabit a diverse range of environments including grasslands, shrublands, deserts, forests, & increasingly suburban & urban areas across North America. [Species background](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote) Where to photograph ## Where our trips feature this species You can photograph Coyote with us in the [United States](https://natureslens.co.uk/discover/north-america/united-states/). These departures are part of our [North America](https://natureslens.co.uk/discover/north-america/) programme. In the field, [David Miles](https://natureslens.co.uk/about/david/) helps guests make the most of these encounters. Field notes ## Photography notes **Best time** Early morning & late evening during autumn & winter offer the best chances, as coyotes are more active & visible in cooler temperatures & lower vegetation cover. **Approach** Use a long telephoto lens of at least 400mm to maintain distance & avoid disturbing the animal's natural behaviour. Position yourself downwind & wear muted, earth-toned clothing to blend into the surroundings & avoid detection. Focussing on the edges of open fields or scrubland at dawn can yield excellent opportunities as coyotes are most active during low-light hours.
