i'm not going with the topic for the day. i have a new animal that i'm trying to learn a lot about -- coyotes. last night (or early, early morning) when i was taking my dog out i heard them communicating. one was howling and then ended in a "yip,yip." of course i am nervous about them being in the area b/c i have two small dogs, but i am also intrigued. lately i have been more and more interested in one of my old "hobbies" -- animal behavior. it's something that i've always enjoyed and thought that i would make a career out of it one day. i really enjoy observing and learning about animals of all types (birds too!). so now i'm trying to learn more about the coyotes b/c now i have the opportunity to listen to their communication. yes i really am a nerd, it's just the zoologist within.

embrace your inner nerd! :) we heard what sounded like coyotes last week. it's the first we'd heard them. we've got a yappy dog or two in the neighborhood that we wouldn't mind seeing disappear though. ;)
totally not a nerd! animal behavior is interesting... i just happen to favor child behavior- we all have our bent. this is excellent!
and btw, WHEN you make a trip to texass, we have coyotes that come up right near the house and will howl and yip... sounds so cool
Coyotes are awesome. My mom has a lot of them in the field across from her house. When they make a kill, they celebrate like crazy. If I'm actually in the house, it's really fascinating to listen to. If I'm outside, I run inside. :)
