I have been trying for weeks to get a good sound bite of a coyote howling. There is a group of them near my home, and I often hear them around dusk and dawn so I thought this would be an easy task to accomplish... I was wrong.
As luck would have it, the moment I wanted to record their yips, barks and howls I was greeted with silence... typical of the ever mysterious coyote. I was beginning to think they had disappeared completelly until Sunday at 6 am, I awoke to the sound I had been waiting for!
Half asleep I thought it was dream, and then I realized... there was a coyote right outside my back door barking and howling as the full moon set, and the sun began to rise. In a rush of clumsy stumbles and bumping into walls I found my recorder, opened the back door and listened to the sweet, sweet sound I had waited so long to hear. I love the way animals, and mother nature make us wait until just the right moment (albeit half asleep), to let us in on her many wonders.
Thank you to the Coyote for sharing such a wonderful moment with me.
