Coyote Joy oil painting by Cathy Carey ©2014 36″ x 36″
There is a family of coyotes that lives near our house. Several generations have been born and roamed across the succulent garden on our hill. We see them every so often, the young adults, Mom and Dad! They are in a mating season now, and the other night I heard a huge racket from what sounded to be a pack of them. I looked out the window to see the “Dad” chasing two younger adults down the street. Every few steps they turned and looked at the “Dad” as if to say, really, we have to move out? I think the Dad may have been making room for the next family litter. If it had been a stranger pack of other coyotes I think he would have been more aggressive and they would have been more quickly chased away.
What do you think was happening?
