Coyote on the Oldman River

Sometimes you can see animals in seemingly unusual places. Like the Oldman River close to the city of Lethbridge. This is a video I shoot on December 30th, 2015 in bright sunshine at the Woopup bridge. I could not believe my eyes when I saw a Coyote so close to the city. First it was standing on the ice howling. I was pretty far from it but got some OK shots. I kept saying: please come closer, please come closer. It started running towards me on the other side of the river. I was so excited I could barely pan to follow it with the camera. It was picking up speed as it got close to me and ran pretty fast. Then it disappeared into thin air. Well, maybe into the thick shrubs along the river bank.

We live in an awesome place!
