Ducks , Foxes and a Coyote

We have not seen Maddy and Paddy for about 2 weeks, so we think they have found a new home for the summer. They also disappeared when the weather turned warmer last year, so we are optimistic that we will see these ducks again next spring.

When Jeff was moving the lawn this weekend, the coyote ran across the lawn. The interesting thing was that when Danny went out a few minutes later, he immediately ran to the area where the coyote had been.

Danny is always sniffing out various scents in the yard and he will follow the scent trail. Sometimes he runs at full speed, nose down and I wonder just what he is chasing.

Jeff also saw the fox and one of the kits in a neighboring yard, so they are still around somewhere.

How neat, sounds like you live in a fun area. I would love to have more wildlife around. The dogs chase the squirrels... well, the squirrels tease the dogs. :)

Yes, its an ever changing adventure. Danny will give the squirrels a chase every now and then, but he's mainly focused on the woodchuck at this point.
