not world-shaking...
Oct. 4th, 2002 09:49 pmbut I just saw two things I hadn't before.
For years we've heard coyotes howling in the hills.. but last night they were so loud it was hard to believe.. dogs barking like crazy too..
So I looked outside and right there in the intersection were 7 coyotes yippin' at full volume at two dogs behind a fence. The 'yotes stood their ground for almost 5 minutes, before they all re-convened and then trotted down the street.
Then just as I rounded the last few corners coming home, I saw a baby fox in the middle of the road.. Baby animal proportions! Huge tail and little body :) It stood there for about ten seconds before running into the bushes.
Cool wildlife stuffs.. *wags*
I enjoy reading about the wildlife encounters on walks
calicougar and
martes take now and then, too.
