J.P. Blogger Belatedly Links To Article, Spots Deer On Morning Run

Although it has been over a month since John Ruch's story about my site in the J.P. Gazette, I thought somebody or other might appreciate a direct link to the story. Here it is: http://jamaicaplaingazette.com/node/2738

Sorry for the delay.

Since the story's publication, a number of J.P. residents have reported sightings. Once I've figured out the exact locations (more or less), I'll add them to the interactive map on jamaicaplaincoyotes.com.

One a non-canine J.P. nature note, it seems there's at least one deer in the Arnold Arboretum.

I saw it -- a doe -- on my last run there, on Friday morning around 11. The doe stood on the side of the road for a couple of minutes as I jogged in place, staring. We were maybe 40 feet apart, and it stared back. I didn't want to leave, but it seemed I had to make the first move, or we might have been there all day. I wonder now what else is in the tall grass near the Arborway gate.
