Had an unexpected visitor this weekend
I was out camping in the desert this last weekend. The weather was beautiful with just a puff of wind from time to time. I was outside on Sunday morning when I spied this guy wandering around the area...

We have had an influx of the Coyote in our neighborhood. I have heard the den-mates greet returning pack animals in the evening. The neighbor reports that one brave animal reached up and was looking into his window one night, probably alerted to the scent of his dog inside the house.
Until recently, we had litters of cats patrolling our yard and the neighborhood. We lost three kittens one night, probably to a Coyote. We decided to keep two cats in the house and give up the outside patrolling. Hopefully, the Coyotes will fill in that predation gap. The cats, however, were apex predators of small animals.
My feelings are that I should just appreciate animals in the wild as our population expansion pushes them out. It's cool that you could be around a coyote and see what it was up to. They are very typically shy and avoid us two-legged creatures.
