Coywolves!

Feb 15, 2009 08:54

When Gleann and I went for our walk around the pond there were tracks filling with the soft, fluffy snow. From the shape and pattern, I thought maybe they were coywolves, but couldn't be sure. Obviously, there were three.

After getting back for awhile, doing some of the chores I'm going to the house and Aaron's heading to give water to Saorsa, in her barn. Saorsa is in her pasture near the pond, looking intently across the pond. I go over asking what she's looking at and, indeed, there are three coywolves on the other side of the pond. They milled around, totally not seeming to are about the, by now snorting filly and hollering person (trying to get Aaron to come see them).

Of course, by the time Aaron bothered to heed my calls of "hurry! coyotes!" (he apparently thought I was being a bitch and thought he was working too slowly so he kept doing what he was doing) and I had given up on him and ran in to get the camera without at least making sure he saw them first, they were gone.

They were very silvery, far more so than most I've seen.
