New Wild Animal Sighting!

I have reported before on the large variety of animals that we have seen in our yards.  On Saturday, Jan. 4, around 12:30 pm, we saw something neither of us had ever seen in real life - a coyote!  It was in the back yard at the new house.  Here is a video that Hubs managed to film from the 3-season room. (It is a little jumpy, but there are some good shots, so be patient!)

Here is a list of the animals we've seen in the yard:

fox

deer

opossum

skunk

raccoon

rabbits

snakes

cats (obviously!)

squirrels (including a flying one)

chipmunks

voles

mice

Then there are the birds:

ducks (Mallard)

hawks

blue jays

cardinals

blue birds

robins

sparrows

wrens

hummingbirds

nuthatches

juncos

catbirds

chickadees

grackles 

crows

rose breasted grosbeak

bats (ok, I know it's not a bird)

wood peckers (including a pileated)

I'm probably forgetting something obvious!  I'm so glad we live in the wilderness!
