COYOTES HAVE RETURNED

A couple of months ago I noted the year-long demise of coyotes in Gasport. After being fairly common for years they had virtually disappeared (no doubt following their food sources). Over the course of late-2007 and 2008 coyote evidence was slim to none and some of their prey (rabbits and woodchucks) saw population explosions in Gasport.

Well, probably because of the latter, the coyotes are back.

On Sunday evening I heard 3 different coyotes howling and yipping and I'm seeing more and more tracks.

Make it a point to go outside on a winter evening and listen to these critters.
