Coyotes are busy this morning

[TEB]

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.

1. Stable coyote families In the hills above Los Angeles

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.

4. I understand

The barn cats we have lost two

[marble falls]

5. Every once in while when its late, I hear them, freaks the cat out ...

between the buzzards that roost occasionally, the foxes and the coyotes - he's a purely indoor cat.

6. Awww poor cat

[marble falls]

7. He's a rescue. I go out with him, he stays close and if I rattle my keys ...

he heads for the door at a run. He's a happy cat.

8. Our cats are indoor cats, and I tell them that they are exchanging...

...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.

9. We've lost a few barn cats, ducks, chickens

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.
