Thank You Coytoes

Those are beautiful!!

And yes coyotes are nothing to take lightly. There are stories of 1 coming in and puppy bowing at a dog trying to get it to play. Starts playing with the dig then gets it to wander to where the pack is waiting.

Or they will taunt a more defensive dog into a fight, and lure them away trying to get the dog to chase them off and right to where the pack is waiting.

I don't despise them or wish them gone they serve a purpose however I do have a healthy respect for them.

Here because of no hunting, they have very little fear of people. In next town Rye, they have attacked kids playing in their own yard.

Beautiful lilies @Nyboy , glad you finally got to see them bloom!

I'm not real fond of the increase in coyotes around here. I have seen them in the yard during the day twice now. I was not out at the time, but really makes you watch your back.

@Nyboy, have you heard about the coyote/wolf mixes that are supposedly spreading down from Canada???? BIG like a wolf, clever like a coyote - moving into suburbs

I did not believe that coyote and wolf would interbreed so I looked it up! Check this out. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...ds-coyotes-wolf-virginia-dna-animals-science/

Cane yes I believe that's what killed the young woman in Canada. Here they are about size of a German Sheppard, very bold they don't flee from you.
