Wiley Coyote Fact Checked

Did you ever get the feeling someone is watching you?

The coyote you see above was on the other side of fence just outside my backyard early yesterday.  Sue spotted him (or her?), so I grabbed the Nikon, mounted the 70-300 lens and took a photo through the window.  Sue asked what it was doing, and then it spoke up.

“Is the Kindle edition of A Cup O’ Joes available yet?”

I speak Coyote (a mostly tonal language), and that was what it asked.  Yes, I answered.  It is.  You can purchase it here.

Edit:  A short while after posting the above, Facebook fact checked it.  Here’s what they came back with:

The above is partly true.  As claimed above, you can purchase the Kindle edition of A Cup O’ Joes here (or you can click on the screen capture pic above).   The coyote you see in the featured photo above actually was behind Berk’s backyard fence yesterday, and Berk actually shot that photo.  Berk does not, however, speak Coyote (that claim is false).  And, the coyote in the above photo is not named Wiley (his real name is Deogi).

    1. Facebook’s fact checkers have been wrong about a lot of things, Bobbie. Actually, I have called in coyotes in the past doing my impersonation of a wounded rabbit.

  1. Coyotes are running rampant here. Unbelievable. In all my days in Ct we never had these crappy animals. The last 2 years they have flooded the zone.
    My daughters friend had her dog that was on a leash held by the owner , ripped away by a coyote . These animals gave no place in suburbia. And it will get worse as kits are born this spring and will be looking for prey.
    Berk has been tutoring us all on reloading . Time to put sone of that ammo to good use and start eliminating these vermine!

    1. We’ve kind of always had them around. The one in the photo has a den somewhere beyond the fence you see in the picture. When they get a kill they start howling in the middle of the night, and sometimes several of them starting yapping just outside our bedroom door. It can be unnerving; that close they can really get loud.

  2. I found a dead rabbit on my back porch. A coyote killed it and was going to come back later to eat it. Mind you I live in a tight city neighborhood. The house beside me is twenty feet away. I moved the rabbit to the bushes in my front yard awaiting trash day in a couple of days but I guess the coyote came back for his meal. All that was left was fir. I realize that living in a city has inherent dangers from bad guys but attack from a pack of coyotes? That isn’t what I signed up for.
