Another sighting: This time it's three coyotes on Shasta Way in the Briarcliff area. These things never get old.
Some might say coyotes aren't news anymore. Been there, done that. In fact, I think this is like the fourth post on coyotes, so one could make the argument that coyote sightings are no longer newsworthy. Make the argument if you'd like. It's also true that coyotes are sensationally awesome. I tend to avoid sensationalizing anything, but I have no problem going nuts about coyotes. Everytime I get an email with "coyote" in the subject line, my day is a little bit better. So, moving forward... There's been another coyote sighting.

My dog and I spotted a coyote in the woods across the creek that runs behind my house back on the afternoon of May 7 (I posted it on the Fama Drive Facebook page). All I saw was the back of a grey, medium sized dog-like critter, but the head and ears weren't quite like a dog. It didn't even turn to look back at me, just kept strolling thru the woods like a walk in the park. It was headed in the … more ›
