midnight coyote concert

 
I mentioned a while back seeing a pair of coyotes cruise through our property, presuming it was a post-rave walk home. I'd never seen a pair on our property before, just singletons.

Apparently they are members of a band, because they held a brief concert last night, waking me up instantly. Click on #6 "Coyote group" on this page to hear an approximation. Very nice moonlight last night...

Anyhow, it sounded close enough I thought I'd peek out the window to see what I could see.

And the concert came to a screeching halt. A few additional yips, but the real singing was instantly OVER.

So, either it's a coincidence, or: "Oh, man, it's that chicken-watcher chick. Shut it!"

Any other theories?

coyotes got me out of bed this a.m.

 
Their calls, that is. I'd gotten up at 5 for a potty run, then was lazy and tho' awake, went back to bed. 3 minutes later, one, then a chorus of coyote howls and yips ensued, emanating from pretty nearby, in the dark.

Too cool...

But I was very glad the chickens were locked up tight.
