Neighborhood takes notice of coyote's presence
By Wayne Hooper
My dog Molly got me up at 3 o'clock in the morning the other day because she had to make a nature call. Since I get up every morning at 4 a.m., it wasn't that much of an inconvenience. However, I think she has me trained. Because I got up and took her out. Why couldn't she wait?
Anyway, after we got outside, the rooster that lives down the road started to ****-a-doodle-doo. Since dawn wasn't for a couple of hours, I thought that to be sort of strange (my mom didn't raise any dummies). Then the geese that live a few hundred yards from me began to squawk. Now my backyard sounded like a barnyard and my basset hound was sniffing the air as she seemed to know that something was new to the neighborhood. Then I heard it. That eerie sound that tells you a coyote is seeking companions. It's a yip-yip yelp sound that can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Normally when a coyote yelps he is seeking others to join him in hunting, and I assumed that with all the deer in my area it was probably to help weed out one of them.
