Hey Al! How's it going? I just wanted to let you know I saw my FIRST coyote in the hood! It was last Monday morning, around 8:30 AM, I was making my way to PSU. He was a PUP, about 3-4 months old. Headed EAST on NE Shaver Street, on the west side of NE 42nd Avenue. He was zig zagging all over Shaver Street and looked really scared, like he was out of place. Also, about 2 weeks ago, I was sleeping with my window open and heard a coyote howling in what I thought was the cemetery. I either heard "echos" back or another coyote howling, which is what they do to find out where others are located. Just an FYI. I know I am suppose to report it to the Fish and Game but since all the hoopla I wanted to share the news! SEE you Monday night. I may be late as I teach a class at Concordia until 8 PMish, but may let them go somewhat early on the first night of class. :)<br>
