Coyote Foot Prints

Panasonic Lumix, ISO 1/125, F 5/9, Focal Lenght 22mm

Coyote Tracks found in the Sand on the edge of Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Maine, at Bemis Track.  
Not much rain this past year so wild animals had to walk great distances to find a water source. I was lucky to find these recent coyote tracks in the sand. I like how the footprint sunk deep into the sandy beach leaving the claws sunken even deeper into the sand. When I walked over to photograph I too sunk deep. Perfect impressions of the coyote pads. I believe these are the back feet. I will post a walking pair in the Wildlife Gallery. Originally I thought these were Bob Cat footprints but was corrected so I have changed the title.
