This is a typical “where is my camera” story.
At just gone 7 am this morning I glanced out from the bathroom window and saw to my surprise a young coyote happily strolling through the our corn stubble. He did not care that the dogs were barking at him but was more intent on playing catch with the birds - who were clearly mocking him.
It was such a joyous and enriching experience. He was there for that long that I had time to wake the household to witness the event.
Our young coyote looked in fantastic condition, nice and lean but with good muscles, great back on him, not down in the hips or mange ridden.
His ears were pricked and every so often he would bound and jump in the air and then all of a sudden stop and sniff the air.
Our experience lasted a near 10 mins and ended with the coyote lightly jogging across our field and into the neighbouring farm land.
Next time I will have the camera at the ready.

We don’t have many coyote’s around here that are in good shape like that. We have to be really careful of our pets. Mostly cats. I envy you that you could watch like you did. We hear them “singing” sometimes and it’s something to behold. Alas, to bad you couldn’t have gotten a picture of it.
