Sharon, I just love all wildlife, so have been madly searching stuff onCoyotes, both in Arizona, and in California. They primarily hunt andfeed during the day. At night--just like other canines, they gather inpacks (they tend to hunt alone) and howl in order to communicate toother packs their location, and vice-versa. Dogs, for example, have similar instincts, but adopt humans as their packs and masters--and that howling that dogs--especially large dogs--do when a fire engine ora police car goes by--that is because to them it sounds like another"wolf" or canine or even a pack and they feel the instinct to signal theirlocation. All my life, I have heard coyotes at night, but only seen themduring the day. Of course, they do not howl

when they are out hunting,and only trained hunting dogs "bay" when a target suspect is located.Coyotes are smarter; they crawl around inconspicuously and quietly.Good thing that your son has built well to protect your flocks.Love to you and to your animals, and to your son and family,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Sun, August 22, 2010 1:46:21 PMSubject: Re: wildlife

The coyotes here are seen occasionally during the daylight hours but typically are only heard at night. We do have a lot of coyotes here but we are so rural and it is expected. When we lived in the Phoenix area we would sometimes see coyotes during the day. These were the urbanized coyotes that have become such a problem for many urban areas.There is one quite large coyote that we have speculated may be half dog. Coyotes are not usually that large size. I always worry about our livestock when the coyotes are out and about. My son has built very sturdy pens/enclosures for the chickens, ducks and turkeys because of the coyotes and wild dogs. love SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Sharon, although they can feed at night for survival, they mostly hunt and feed at daylight, like all other canines.(sparing you the link, but I did look this up).Love,nP.S. Though it is rare, they can breed with dogs and producefertile offspring, just as all other canine family members can. . .To: Group

The coyotes are going nuts around here. They were out hunting yesterday in the daytime. There was a pack of them about 10 feet from our northern fence right by the house. They started yipping and howling and chased after a stray dog. My son went out to chase them off and saw that, thankfully, the poor dog got away. Usually coyotes hunt at night. There are lots of rabbits around here so they have available food. I don't understand why they are out during the day like this. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product. The slight

They are fascinating, I agree. The pack that was here a few days ago (that I wrote about) were howling and yipping. When coyotes yip they are coming in for a kill, but I'm sure you know that. We hear them at night but don't see them because it's dark:) lol SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
