Coyotes are busy this morning

Behind the House I even think they were coming. To try and score a chicken dinner I heard the cans on fence making noise. I reinforced the chicken coop with new fence so the chickens are safe. The coyotes have to eat as well I enjoy listening to them.

In Laurel Canyon the ecosystem supported us all, musicians, lawyers, drug dealers, coyotes with their families, raccoons, doctors. Cruising home after midnight before Thursday morning we would see the coyotes with their pups staging for morning trash collection.

There was a story of one released in the morning in mountains near Mt Wilson, maybe 50 miles away, Back home in late afternoon.

...their freedom for their longevity, and that it’s a damn good deal. They seem content with it, and I don’t have to worry about finding one of them squashed by the side of the road.

Some in broad daylight, as the chickens are locked in the coop at night. But haven't seen any coyotes, or evidence of them (I think they don't like the smell of the Great Pyrs). We trapped the raccoon family. Trying to figure out what's happening. We've just put up an outside motion camera.
