Wildlife

This morning at 0030 I glanced out the back door and there was a coyote standing in front of the pool looking back at me. With all the snow and outdoor lights it was pretty bright so I could tell that it was definitely a coyote. I yelled for Kelsey to come out of the office to look (really loudly but that's what it takes to get her moving quickly) and she was able to catch a look at it as it went over to the neighbors' yard.

Today I had to get a few things out of the shed so I looked around for coyote tracks. Not only were there coyote tracks around the front and back of the pool, but also deer tracks coming around the shed to the apple tree then back out into the field. Mom asked "Are you sure they aren't skunk tracks?"
