Coyote on the Move

In keeping with Lars' last blog entry, I thought I'd post this photo recently captured by my motion-detecting camera. Those of us who heard Jonathan Way's fascinating presentation on eastern coywolves during the Trackers Conference in October will likely agree that this coyote sure LOOKS like it's got wolf ancestry.

A Different Kind of Pack Meeting

Lars posts: Tonight was marked by a sudden outburst of howling. I live near the Stow airport and I have been hearing a howling pack of coyotes off and on over the last several weeks. They are usually yipping after dusk and at a distance. Tonight was in my front yard! I ran to grab the camera and began filming as I opened the door. After they quieted down, I could still hear there footsteps in the leaves at the edge of the property.
