Parham Pourahmad’s Image
Parham Pourahmad (USA) uses the morning light to frame the amber eyes of a male coyote within the black-tipped tail of a female.
Parham followed this pair – a female and possibly her brother – for a couple of hours across the rocky hillside. He quickly framed his image before the male turned to nuzzle the female.
Coyotes can adapt to almost any habitat. They’re abundant across North America and into Central America.
Once common in San Francisco, they had disappeared from the city but are now beginning to return.
Coyotes scavenge food waste but their diet also includes rodents and other small mammals.
