| | I got out the door a little earlier today, so I was ready to run a little longer. My right hamstring is a bit tight.
So, I take my dog on a walk every day around 5:30PM - 6PM. Last night I was hoping we'd find the coyotes again that I saw on my run in the morning. We usually go south down the middle of the Floodway. We went north and Herbie was very excited to be exploring something new. As we were going a lady and a kid told us that there was a coyote just up ahead of us. I thanked her and it wasn't long before we saw it. Of course Herbie wanted to chase it, but knowing that there are two of them, I wasn't about to let go of the leash. We just watched it for a while, and when it disappeared in the bushes, we cut through the brush on to the east Canal road. There we saw it again. I took three videos of it. One when we were down in the bottom of the Floodway and two on the Canal road. In the second video (all of the videos are posted on Facebook) we decided to get a little closer and chased it back in the bushes again. Then we headed back south toward home and saw it one more time. Only now, it was agitated and started yipping at us. My guess is that they've got a litter of pups right close to there and they're being protective. It's a real cool video.
Anyway, this morning I wanted to see if I could see them again so I ran past there. I didn't see them. I continued north all the way up to McDowell. It's about 2.8 miles to McDowell. I turned back south and a half mile later I saw my Strava buddy Michael. I said, "Good morning, Michael!" He said, "Hey, good morning! Lookin' good, Burt!" It was cool. Then a quarter mile later I saw a coyote. This coyote was about a mile north of the ones I saw yesterday. I would assume it wasn't one of the same ones. It ran over into the orange grove. When I got close I turned the volume all the way up on my phone and played the video of the coyote yipping from last night. I was trying to draw it out. But it was too smart.
