While putting the final touches on my previous post (which I was writing out on my patio) what should come walking through my yard but a coyote. Unfortunately, by the time I was able to get the camera on my Ipad going, he had skedaddled over the road and into a neighbor’s yard, so no footage.
This is the second time a coyote has walked through our yard in the daytime while we were outside quite near it. I made eye contact with this one and I could see that he had no interest in getting to know me better. Being without pets at the moment, we are unlikely to be directly impacted by their predations. In fact, my wife pointed out that the chipmunks that were once so abundant and bold-they would run under our patio table while we were sitting at it- appear to have disappeared. Yes, they’re cute, but when they start residing under your house they are definitely imposing on your good will. So, perhaps we owe the coyotes for their disappearance, in which case I must tender them my thanks.
