Coyotes, and Chipmunks and Squirrels - Oh My!

Over the last few days, we have discovered that we have some wildlife that enjoys coming around our backyard.
The first encounter was braved by Mom, as she was working on the computer in the basement. She looked out the window, and there under the tree, about 15 feet or less away, was a huge coyote staring at her! Wish we had a picture of that one, but he skeddadled too quickly to grab the camera.
That night, however, and several nights since, we have heard coyote packs come chasing something - probably a bunny whom we have not seen around lately - through our back yard. So far we have not been fortunate enough to snap any photos of them, but if we do you can be sure you will see them posted here.


This little fella stops by almost every morning for breakfast on our tree. He just sits there and eats berries till he is full and then leaves. He is actually rather amusing to watch, the way he nibbles and pulls the berries off the branch.

Here's his friend...

And apparently he's heading over for a bite to eat as well.

And this shy little chippy was perched right outside the window.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
