The coyotes have been especially vocal and close to our house lately. I don't like it.
It is not unusual to hear coyotes in the spring when the females give birth, but this particular female & her pack has stuck around. THAT is unusual.
The female has a very loud, distinctive and well done howl. Originally I thought that it was fun to hear the young one's attempts at following her exceptional lead; their pathetic yips & croaks were entertaining. But now that it is Fall and they are all very well versed in howling, it has grown erie. So erie that it is a part of our daily discussion & either Dan or I step out with Buster each morning and evening while he does his job.
I sure hope that there has been a good crop of rabbits , mice & other critters to keep the coyotes all full, because I don't want Buster to become a main course. Shiver.
