Eastside Coyotes

Jake and I were walking on the riverbed at South Beach this morning when a couple of coyotes appeared on the east side of the river and started barking at us. They had a lot to say. A few weeks ago, the three coyotes we often see on the west side of the river walked down on the riverbed with us to get a drink of water. They were silent, and did all their business like, “Don’t mind us!” Jake and I were standing about 25 feet from the westside coyotes.

Dawn

Dusk. We’ve had a little rain the past few nights, so the river is up a little from the runoff.

  1. Such a wonderful surprise to find your post tonight. Bowie did not like the east side coyotes: “mom, I had just fallen asleep and you put that yapping on!” They looked young to me…
    Once again, the actions of the west side coyotes demonstrated that you are a trusted Bosque inhabitant.
    Thanks for sharing. 🙂

    • Give Bowie an extra squeezee treat for troubling him. The Westside Coyotes were following us around this morning. Thanks, Susan.

  2. Always so good to see you in my Reader. 😊
    Loved the video!
    The coyotes do have a distinct bark and howl. And they look quite healthy.
    Take good care my friend.

  3. What a great video! They really don’t seem scare of you and Jake☺️
    They remind me of playful puppies.
    Did you ever see that video where that girl showed her boyfriend her new “puppy” on FaceTime and it was a coyote!😅🤣

  4. Those eastsiders are a bit mouthy dontcha think. I played it for the boys and they said they would come down and put those miscretes in their place (mind you they like to talk tough from their comfy couch ha).

    • They thought they were pretty tough with the river between us. They might have changed their tune otherwise. Thanks, Brian.

  5. LOL!

    Love this Tim. I did not realize coyotes barked like dogs. Very adorable.

    I don’t know what kind of sound I thought they made? Wile. E. Coyote sounds, I guess. Zoom, boom and kaboom… and other Acme related mishap noises.

    Thanks for the vid, and the pics! xx

  6. What a wonderful video of the coyotes. I love to hear them when they get going at night. It makes the hairs on your arms stand up. Beautiful dawn and dusk photos.

    • Coyote chorales are impressive, especially when you get them in surround sound while walking in the bosque in the dark. Thanks, Rebecca.
