Outside the wire at FOB Borepatch. We're in pretty built up Austin, but there's a "canyon" (a dry creek, really) that is pretty wooded, and they come up that.
With the full moon tonight and last night, their song has been something to hear.
I wonder if they have a kill. Don't let your cats out at night, folks. I don't wonder whether they've forgotten their place on the food chain, even here in Texas.

The canyons are bigger in AZ...
Couldn't resist.
Hey Tin Can Assassin, don't mess with Texas!
;-)
They attacked a child in San Clemente,CA a few years back while playing in her backyard and they go after pets all the time.
shite, I see dead coyotes on the side of the road in Cypress. they're like racoons, highly urban adaptable.
Although they haven't figured out the vehicle moving at 55 in a posted 35 zone just yet.
When we're down at the crik, you can hear them across the water 'talking' to one another... a group of them howl and bark... another group answers... then they get closer together, no doubt closing in on the pack's prey....... it's creepy.
It's why we keep the current dog inside. Her nickname is "snack".
On second thought BP, that may not be coyotes that you're hearing howling at the moon. Austin is not only our state capitol, but it's also where we keep our token moonbat liberals. You may be hearing the local wildlife, but not the kind that you think... ;)
Canyon....tehehee
I miss mountains, mesas and the color green.
:-(
Those are not coyotes it's Chupacabra.
Little known fact #1: There are more Coyotes in Texas today, than there were in the entire US when Columbus landed. Removal of competing predators allowed them to expand their range.
Little known fact #2: If you ever have occasion to grab one by the tail, they don't much care for it.
I have not heard the pack in my neighborhood (far South Austin) in a long time. I think when the creek ran dry, they moved into Circle C to eat poodles.
I thought you moved to Atlanta? Is it Austin then?
Kansas Scout, I'm splitting my time between home with the family in Atlanta and out here in Austin.
