Description
Have you ever been standing in line somewhere like in a store and saw yourself in the overhead close-circuit TV, or some other place where there’s a security camera and had the overwhelming urge to stick out your tongue and say ‘nyah’? I have. It’s easy for me to believe that’s what’s going on here. This coyote was caught on my remote trail cam, and probably not for the first time. I have countless hours of video footage of these highly intelligent and beautiful creatures, and each one has its own distinct personality. While it looks like the animal’s in a spotlight, this is an illusion created by the infrared technology used at night. The coyote’s eyes are bright due to the infrared light reflecting off the the tapetum lucidum in its corneas. While it may appear to be looking right at the camera, the only visible light is a few small red LEDs. Still they are curious about it because it’s not an ordinary object they see on a regular basis — except when they come to my house to drink water from my birdbaths! The technology of these cameras lacks the higher resolution of daytime photos, so I usually apply minimal enhancement to bring out the contrast and highlights.
