Our home sits in the middle of a small village in a working
class neighborhood of ranch, Cape Cod and colonial style houses. The lot sizes
average .25 acres. We don’t have large plots of trees or parks within two miles
of us.
A week ago I was looking out the front window of our home,
checking the weather before leaving to meet friends in the village for our
usual Saturday morning run and soul cleansing. Running down the street was a
coyote! He/she stayed on the side of the
road facing traffic like any good runner should do. The coyote continued up our
street a few hundred yards before getting out of sight. Jan was out running one
early morning two weeks ago in the village and said she had seen a coyote. I’m
guessing the coyote has a regular routine or maybe he just likes to run like we
do?
Three days ago as I was pulling out of the driveway to go to
work I looked down the road and saw our friend, the coyote, again. This time he
was darting between houses with what looked like a small squirrel in his mouth.
If the Roadrunner suddenly appears I’ll really start to get worried. Until then
at least our squirrel population might get under control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wile_E._Coyote_and_The_Road_Runner
