I just went outside to check my sprinklers. The were recently adjusted so that they would not hit side of patio. So far, so good. Wow. Just in front of me was a coyote (not cpyote!). I clapped my hands. It looked at me. Then it ran away. Haven't seen on in a long time. It was probably looking for the bunnies that are running around.
When I was down there a few weeks ago checking out a house, the realtor, the home inspector, and I were standing in the kitchen area and right up to the door bounces a coyote pup. I was shocked that he would come up that close. As soon as the realtor took a step to get a better look, the little guy bolted.
