Bird Bath Rage

Woke up this morning to this ugly scene outside my back door:

What the heck happened?  This is why I got a trail cam.  A quick look at the photos captured over the last week or so confirms a lot of squirrel and deer action.  This I had seen with my own eyes.  But then the last photo - captured this morning - perhaps reveals the real culprit:



Yep, that blurry image appears to be a coyote making a direct beeline towards my bird bath.  And it looks big enough to have accidentally - or intentionally? - pushed over the bird bath.  Yikes.  I hope this coyote isn't still around - I certainly don't want them getting to the hummingbird feeders, which I'm already worried won't last very long whilst I'm away (even with as many feeders as I have right now).
