Hope the coyotes don't gobble me up

[newmousecateer]

Going out to walk around a bit. Neighbors have said the coyotes have been getting bolder about coming out from around the river to the yards to catch rabbits to eat.

Hope I don't look like a rabbit (LOL)

If I do not check in by tomorrow morning, contact DH and tell him I am being held captive or been eaten by a coyote

Have a nice walk. Make sure you check in when you get back. You have me worried.

It's too late and too dark to be walking around at night. Please be careful!

My dog go crazy because sometimes coyotes come out outta the canyon behind out house, and walk along the fence! Be careful!

Please be careful *hugs*

Hi. I'm back.

It's creepy out there tonite. NOT ONE other person out tonite. No kids playing, no adults out for any reason.

Didn't feel comfortable walking around since DH is asleep.

Glad you are back safe and sound. Now I can get some sleep. Good Night.

Speaking of coyotes...does anyone know what kind of noise they make. For the past several weeks (when it's dark) we are hearing a terrible "screeching" sound in the neighborhood. We have never heard anything like it before. We know that we have coyotes in the area. It has everyone in the neighborhood baffled because it is such an unusual sound.

hmmmm I don't think they screech, but they do bark/yip/howl.....could the screeching be owls?

 

[C.Ann]

Ummm.. And I thought I had it rough with the foxes up to the lake.. At least they run AWAY from people!!

Be careful on those walks.. You might want to carry a big stick or something..

 

[jjskribs]

If it's an owl , it must be a BIG one!

A coyote howl sounds like this sound

There's a sound clip on this site that is kind of freaky, give it a listen and see if that's the sound you've been hearing <b>INFO ABOUT COYOTES</b>

 

[jjskribs]

Thanks nativetxn..... that's definitely not the sound we've been hearing. Someone told me that it may be a heron but I didn't think a heron would be out at night. We do have lots of woods around us and a small pond not too far away but the sound is not coming from the pond! It is weird.......I've lived in this house for 25 years and have NEVER heard this before.
