Thanks for giving them their due . . . <br /><br />I'm the PBS 'friend'. I wrote under 'The Write Cause' and I believe you contacted me regarding my work years ago. Could it be? Things like this happen to me so often that I am never surprised when I connect with good people. But this is so very outrageous that you should request my PBS book! <br /><br />We are coastal neighbors . . . anytime you are up my way (Bodega Bay) I would LOVE to have you visit and go hiking. I am now a happy subscriber . .Darrishttp://mamalovesthebeach.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700728271731802119.post-86055615712120353672012-02-17T22:12:25.246-08:002012-02-17T22:12:25.246-08:00Great post, Cindy, as usual.

John's cool butt-scooting post is here (http://jwallphoto.blogspot.com/2011/12/year-end-blowout.html), although I really liked this action-packed post (http://jwallphoto.blogspot.com/2011/12/coyotes-mushrooms.html). Actually, I stopped by to drop another couple of coyote blog links that I thought you might find interesting (http://www.photographyontherun.com/CoyoteTag.aspx and http://www.photographyontherun.com/CoyoteTagII.aspx). Coyote Yipps is an incredible site.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700728271731802119.post-64509887783135017952012-02-17T17:37:58.162-08:002012-02-17T17:37:58.162-08:00John: I too am surprised that it is so consistent ...John: I too am surprised that it is so consistent for coyotes (Canis latrans) throughout CA, so I've checked several reliable sources. Janet at Coyote yipps talks about this and she frequently observes coyote behavior in our area - I just checked again and she does mention January as breeding season too. I'm also surprised the reproductive cycles are so different from domestic dogs (C. familiaris), but interestingly, that means the frequency of dog/coyote hybrids is probably low. I guess it is up to us to confirm whether they are showing mating behavior at any other times - so get out there and spy on those luvin' coyotes. I just saw the coyote butt-scooting photo on your blog - wow, I have never seen that before. I wonder if it also has something to do with leaving scent.

Coyotes are smart enough not to send mixed signals, but as a species, humans have so much to re-learn.Imperfect and Tensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348507012722069785noreply@blogger.com
