Wild Life - Santee, CA

We haven’t seen the egrets, herons, or our own Red Tail Hawk in the stream behind our rig yet but it is early. We are near the east side of the park. The coyotes were out in mass last night. They were very noisy early in the evening and it went on for a long time. Must have been a birthday party ‘cause they really were yipping it up. With the week-end crowds, we are pretty sure the coyotes were on the west side of the park in the scrub land outside the park fence but they sounded much closer.

In all of our travels through coyote territory, Karma has only once wondered about them. It was early on when we were outside LA in the summer of 2008. The county park we were in was pretty much in the coyotes’ living room. They were active each and every night we were there. Anyway, one night Karma insisted that she needed to go out. So, both of us took flash lights and walked within 10 feet of the RV. She did a LOT of sniffing but no pee/poop. We didn’t stay out long as the coyotes are not very afraid of the humans, or pet dogs, that are taking up space on their land.
