This coyote spent most of its day in my parents backyard yesterday, it would coast easily over the fences. I am surprised that bird made it out alive, the coyote didn't even try to get it.
They don't often get a magpie, they're too dang smart, even for a coyote, which are pretty cagey animals themselves. Reminds me of the time three coyotes stole our little Scotch terrier dog Tibby (when I was a kid). Hauled her off down the road, and didn't drop her until my dad fired his shotgun over their heads. Man, I can see her still booting it for home, those little legs going like pistons, she was one worried little Scottie!
Still cant believe that, that beast was huge

ReplyDeleteCool. Our river valley has a lot of coyote's too...i think they mostly hunt rabbits, and feral cats...and open garbage cans.
ReplyDeleteFreaky. I have seen them frequently this past while in McKenzie Lake and along HWY 22X.
