Coyote Den!




We have a low patio off our Master bedroom, and about 15 ft past its wall we found the entrance to a coyotes den. Fresh. We have seen an adult jump the 4 ft patio wall and have spooked one at our watering areas before 6 AM. The opening on the flat ground is about 1 ft by 2 ft, a real ankle breaker, so I added a painted post about 4ft tall. The top shot shows the entrance at the end of the black line with my size 9 sneaker in view. The lower shows me at 5'6" as close as I am going to get! Coyotes are nocturnal and since the cubs are probably 4-6 weeks old now they are ready to emerge. Mom wouldn't be too happy if I got closer!
