Now I'm confused. On the walk with the dog this evening, I discovered a pile of FOX scat in the middle of the drive. Now, I'm no expert on animal excrement, but this definitely came from a fox (smallbore, red berries, like that) AND, there were turkey vultures circling overhead where I think the coyote den is. And, I haven't seen any coyotes or pups for awhile. The pups should be showing up right about now or in the next couple of weeks.
