In light of the recent Denver coyote news, I thought I'd show some of our local reactions to coyotes. The following sightings were posted anonymously on this blog:
2/6/09: "I was woken up last night at 2:30 by the erie howls of a coyote very close and the response of 3+ coyotes further away. There is a single set of tracks across the upper yard. In contract to their night time demeanor, they are beautiful to watch as they play and frolic during the daytime hours."
2/19/09: "We have seen coyotes in our yard/ in front of our house on Moss Hill Road by the foot path several times a week since early January. We have spotted them at all times of day solo, pairs or three at a time. We were awakened by three howling and frolicking in the street in front of our house two weeks ago and they continued to 'play' for nearly 45 minutes. We have two small children and I am a bit concerned by the presence of the coyotes and how close they come to our house and car. We see them in our yard quite often and have found remains of a rabbit as well as a few squirrel tails in the yard - yes, just the tails"
I haven't put either report on my sightings map, for lack of specific location, but the descriptions and reactions are interesting. I sure hope one of the squirrel tails wasn't all white.
