Got back, 3 minutes later at least 6 probably 12 or more coyotes started up, all OVER the place. Clearly, we were surrounded, little did we know. =)biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-26815741612198286692010-11-21T10:44:57.243-08:002010-11-21T10:44:57.243-08:00Thanks for the belly laugh!

They are in San Diego canyons, LA canyons, etc. Most people (non-biologists) I have learned are REALLY not good at wildlife ID, but you obviously are cued in. Hunters generally are very good.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-73454101008022005702010-11-20T14:23:31.968-08:002010-11-20T14:23:31.968-08:00You are so generous to those beetles!
I think I ...You are so generous to those beetles! <br /><br />I think I saw a coyote in my parking lot at work a few weeks ago. I was about 50 feet from it, got a crappy pic with the iphone and when I tried to get closer it casually trotted away. Everyone I told said it had to be a dog, but I really don't think it was!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253555059755669254noreply@blogger.com
