Coyote Sighting

Coyote's are almost as plentifull as skunks in these here parts. Well, until recently it seems. This morning I spotted my first of the season. Usually, by now I've witnessed the sunning of the pups in meadow next to the resevoir and morning coyote sightings would be standard. But since the renovation of the lake path I haven't seen many and certainly haven't seen the pups this year. It's a love/hate thing with the little mongrels. They kind of freak me out and fascinate me at the same time. The skunks, the coyotes, and the hawks all make Silver Lake seem a little further away from the stench of downtown or the sleeze of hollywood.
