Canis latrans

Like Ray said we have a second canid visitor to the CB in addition to gray fox.  Now we have coyote.  This particular coyote.

Today our coyote answered the question, Can coyotes jump the fence?, by clearing the fence in a prodigious, flat-footed, seemingly effortless leap.  In the second picture, coyote is enjoying a nice cool drink.  It hasn't rained in weeks so our water bucket is probably one of the few reliable water sources to be found in these typically parched parts.

These days we only have one pet, a cat.  Somehow that cat knows when coyote is about.  He freaks out, assuming, that coyote is fixing to get in the house and eat him.
