I guess we're pretty spoiled as we get to hear the coyote quite often around out place, only note generally quite as close as the other night. You're right, they do have a bit of a maniacal sound when they're making their whining and yapping call. Cathy - I’m glad you got to hear the coytoe!

I've only heard coyote once - decades ago. Like Pablo we were camping out West. It was eerie. We didn't know immediately what they were - it sounded like inmates from an asylum. Wow.

Where I live, the farms are spaced quite far apart, so we hear the odd dog bark in the evening. The coyote are quite different though. When they are vocal, you can hear them moving over the fields and into the woods. It's really an enjoyable sound - or at least I think so! - Laura - They sound quite different "in person" than on that recording. When they're as close by as they were the other night, if you open the window, it seems as though they are right beside you and the calls will fill the room. Of course, as it turned out, once I'd taken a look for prints in the snow, they almost *were* beside me the other night! (-: - pablo - You're most welcome. Glad you enjoyed the singing!

I remember hearing them in the mountains of Colorado many years ago, and never since. Thanks for the audio clip. Ah, the song dogs!

I've heard rumors of coyotes in the very southern tip of NJ, but can hardly imagine them there with so many people. I'm thrilled to hear an owl or spot a fox here in the middle of suburbia!
