Ice-in Watch 2006

DRH · 01-24-2006, 03:01 PM

We saw a large coyote out on the new ice this afternoon. We first spotted it walking around between Treasure Island and Ship Island, then it wandered over between Ship and Moose Islands. We watched it for quite a while with a spotting scope. It didn't appear to be on any particular quest or heading in any particular direction, and occasionally it would just sit on the ice and look around. We lost track of it over near Moose Island. With the ice so new (and thin) we were hoping the coyote wouldn't break through, but the ice was strong enough to support its weight.

Oh what a beautiful thing to witness! I'm envious!

We have a small pack of coyote in our neighborhood somewhere, as we can hear them communicating with one another on a nightly basis. Usually around 1:00AM while I take the dog on his last walk of the night I can hear them howling back and forth to one another in the neighboring woods. Years ago it would make my hair - and the dog's fur - stand on end every time. Now it's become a welcome and pleasant sound that I look forward to.

I must admit, though, that I'm glad I can only hear them, and not see them!

The enlarging of all the lake webcam pictures for the Ice-In watch is your latest stroke of genius. Well done.
