In earlier posts I mentioned I have a small pond in my back yard. There are a few plants in there and the few goldfish that survived a visit from a blue heron earlier this year! Over the years a bunch of wildlife visit the pond from time to time. Locally there has been an increase in the number of coyote over the last few years. No natural predator to threaten them, they are attracted to the white tailed deer, also in abundance (probably because I feed them lol).

Last week I managed to see a few coyote crossing my back yard. I grabbed my phone and shot this short video of the visitors. Soon after, I shot another video of a single coyote passing through. We hear a pack of them howling at night all the time. They follow the deer paths as you see them leave using the same bushes the deer use.

Below is a video of two bucks visiting recently. One stopped by for a drink and you can see the other use the path behind my house.

All this, and I am literally in the middle of the city!
