The video Sean has been getting with his trail camera is fantastic. \u00a0He has inspired me to put mine out too. \u00a0I don’t want this to be a competition… I just think it will be fun to see what we can get on camera with a couple more of these things in the field.<\/p>\n

Last year I saw Coyote tracks on the Trail behind Wrigley Corners almost every day. \u00a0However, in November the local Coyote was hit by a car and there have been no tracks for several months. \u00a0About a week ago I started seeing urine in spots along the trail and fresh Coyote tracks. \u00a0I assumed it was a young male claiming a vacant territory. \u00a0Coyote are pretty active this time of year because in Southern Ontario they breed in February. \u00a0There have been a bunch of Coyote sightings in Waterloo Region lately largely for this reason.<\/p>\n

What surprised me was how aware the Coyotes were of the trail camera. \u00a0It is a tiny box strapped to a tree, yet these animals were very cautious.<\/p>\n

I hope that this is a breeding pair of Coyote. \u00a0I will follow the tracks sometime soon and get a better sense for their territory and try to find another spot where I can get more video of these beautiful wild creatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
