night yipping

i woke up at 4:30am last night to the sound of some very loud (close) coyote yipping and howling. this is a sound that i know well, but was frightening non-the-less. i put on my glasses and ran to the window in time to see two coyotes walking south on the railroad tracks outside my apartment - the tracks are about 10 feet down and 20 feet out from my window. from the noise it seemed like there were one or two somewhere else in city calling in response.

not my video, but the sound is the same (sans the waterfall)
