A Happy and Healthy Coyote

 


I have seen a few coyotes in my yard.  They look and act almost playful.  I think they are getting plenty to eat.  I love having a wildlife habitat in my front and backyard.  One skipped down my steps, and returned a few minutes later with a limp squirrel hanging out of his mouth.   There are nearby lakes and streams that still have water.  

Thank you for your comments.  They may take a few days to appear.

  1. It's good that the coyotes are getting plenty to eat and drink up there.
    What happened to your post about the bath tiles? It seems to have disappeared!

  2. Hi Bless, They are energetic and doing well. The ones in Santa Clarita seem so much more stressed and they are so thin. I feel sorry for them.

  3. Poor squirrel!! Bit that's nature for you, isn't? You do have plenty of interesting wild life around you, interesting to someone who lives in the SE of England, anyway. :-) xx

    1. Yes, the food chain, Joy. I guess we get used to it up here. Those coyotes are meat eaters. We have lots of squirrels, chipmunks, bats etc.

    1. Yes, Cherie. You have to keep your pets indoors. They attack quickly.

  5. How scary, Anita. I had one lunge at me from my bedroom window at the cottage. It had someone's cat for dinner. They are so protective over their food. He ate it in my front yard.

  6. Gosh, I find that quite terrifying even more so than the bear!

    1. They are wild animals, PP. They are so beautiful, but you do have to keep your guard up.

  7. How special having a bear, and coyotes on your property. In New Zealand, our wild animals are not fearsome, as the original mammal here was a tiny mousebat. We do have a lot of bush/forest birds though.

    1. Yes, it's very exciting, srs. We have bats here, too. They were swarming around the trash when the bear was eating it. They can carry rabies, so I am careful. Most of the time they are only out at night, though.

  8. I just love having wildlife in my front and back yard too. We get coyotes around here, usually more in the Fall and Winter, they come right through our property in packs and sound so scary. Hahaha

  9. I know what you mean, Sandra. The ones up here are often out on their own, and they look happy, tails up, like dogs. In a group they are even more dangerous.
