Ode to the Urban Coyote
It’s almost baffling when you realize that coyotes live, mostly unseen, in a city like Toronto. Inhabiting a space between “urban” and “wild.” Going about their lives while we’re going about ours.

Responsible geotagging can keep wildlife and wild spaces safe.
As many of you know I am a wildlife photographer, what most don't know are the hours, patience, cost, and dedication it takes to catch a glimpse of an animal. Sometimes we are given chances where time stands still and we can capture them in their natural habitat from a safe distance. Other days we are out from sunrise to sunset and don't find anything.
Ecologically, Coyotes might just be a key savior in the recovery of our loss of biodiversity (the number of species of plants, animals, and other life forms in a given area). It’s like the story on how the return of the wolves completely transformed Yellowstone. Our natural areas are besieged with plants from other parts of the world (non-native species). You would think adding plants from other parts of the world increases diversity. The opposite is true.
