The Lonesome Coyote

http://gregjoder.wordpress.com/ ... This morning I took video of these coyotes in a meadow near an old ranch.

The main character appears to be an older, injured male. Youll see he favors his right front leg. He seems to be very interested in the coyote that he chases around the little hillock. The other two coyotes appear more interested in leaving the area. In the end three of the coyotes leave the protagonist behind, sitting alone on the little hill.

I took the video at the side of the road, sitting in my car. You can hear the ranch dog barking in the first few seconds before I added the sounds of coyotes barking and howling. Otherwise it would have been the sound of my car blinker and the ranch dog barking. I found the coyote sounds at http://www.soundboard.com.

I don't know why people think so little of coyotes. They're needed to! Wolves provide more for the ecosystem but I think coyotes are wonderful creatures :)
