A Visitor
Yesterday afternoon, I was in the living room when I heard something rustling under the windows. I looked out an saw the tail of something passing by below. I went to Gideon's room and looked out the front window and saw this.
As far as wildlife goes, I'm general a live and let live kind of guy, but coyotes wandering through our yard during the middle of the afternoon gives me pause. Coyotes usually don't attack people, but when they do, they generally attack children. Since I have a five year old and I know there are packs of coyotes in the area, this worries me. Not that I didn't already have reason enough but this gives me yet another to have the yard bush hogged. Soon.

Don't you worry about that coyote. He's not going to mess with your son. A cat? maybe so.
I'm in the city, and we get coyotes during the day (well, the morning). At least it's not mountain lions, then you'd have more to worry about.
Tarr, you're right, but you never know. While rare, apparently they do occasionally go after kids, out west in particular. Better safe than sorry, right?
Derek, pretty wild. I'd heard they were moving into the cities, even caught one in NYC Central Park supposedly. I'm not too sure that we don't have mountain lions though. Officially, no. The state Game and Fish maintains that we don't but, I've seen otherwise as have some of my in-laws.
Whatever is out there, vigilance seems like a good thing.
