We Saw Another Coyote - Or Maybe It's the Same One

The sightings get less and less scary - sort of. This time we were walking down the sidewalk which is not in the open park, but is flanked by trees on either side. We were on our way back into the park proper, when I turned around and there was the coyote standing in the path we'd just come down.

This was less spooky then the two times before because he seemed more curious than hungry or menacing. At the same time, we had no idea he was in the area. The dogs didn't bark and he didn't make any noise. We were far enough away we couldn't have hit him with a rock, but still he didn't run when I blew the whistle - our first line of defense. Oh, he moved about 6 feet, but then he turned right back around and looked at us.

We turned and walked on, and the coyote meandered along the path behind us, but it was evident he was not interested in bothering us.

This was Tuesday m0rning and I figure he was still full from eating the weekend's trash.

Now it's Friday and there were no more sightings this week.
