What is it with the coyotes that makes them leap and pounce like this ? Are they after small mammals ?
Thanks.

Thanks Alan.
That's right, in that pose they're going after voles, field squirrels, mice, etc. They tend to hunt those critters by ear, hearing the rodent, even under snow, and jumping on it. For larger prey, like prairie dogs and geese, they'll rush through a crowd of them at full speed, hoping to catch one napping. With deer, they pack hunt and grab it by the hind quarters and hope to bring it down. They'll kill around half our fawns.
