What A Concert! At Midnight. Coyotes.
Tags: Life on Marble Mountain
Last night we heard a dog barking nearby. Or so we thought. As we tried to figure out what dog was barking, it turned into choppy barks, then overlapping yips and, after a few minutes, evolved into the howls of coyotes. From the sound, they were at the top of our driveway on the road. We listened to them for a good 5 minutes or so. Then they took off quickly going east. Whew!
There is something about the coyote calls that intrigues. We listened to them through the open window until we could no longer hear them.
I do not worry all that much about them coming into my yard. We have two healthy, strong canines that leave plenty of scent messages for other canines. Canines of all stripes have a strong respect for territory and I suspect that keeps the critters out of my yard. I hope I'm right about that.
