Last night around 11:30 the coyotes started singing. They were so loud I was sure that they were in the back yard, and of course, Taz freaked out. He started barking and growling, shivering and shaking, finally climbing on top of me, woofing and twitching about every minute or so until about midnight when we all finally got back to sleep.
This morning around 9 o'clock I was standing in the back doorway when a police car came up the highway with it's siren wailing. Coyotes started howling, yipping and singing from at least two different spots in the forested area behind the yard. Carol and I both were surprised at how close they were. We've had them come through here before, maybe we'd hear them howling every couple of months or so, but these guys seem to have moved in.
I had turned the electric fence off about a month ago, since the bears are hibernating and Taz won't go near it after he got zapped, whether it's off or on. I'm afraid Taz would be a temptation no self respecting coyote could pass up, so I turned it back on.
