Halloween Footprints

I found these canine footprints under one of my game cams on 10/31/15. The animal that left them was not photographed, as they were directly under the camera and thus out of the detection zone. An SD card is 1.25 inches in size so this print is approximately 2.5 inches when taking into account the shifting of sand from the landing and propelling of the foot. This matches the accepted variation of coyote track size. What makes these compelling is that I received a message from an individual claiming to have observed a coyote crossing Northern Blvd at Udall's cove on Oct 22nd, only several days before I came across these prints.
