Coyote and Pups on Ottawa

[allen]

The pups (all five of them) usually run or walk into the culvert under the driveway at the first cabin (the newer cabin with a concrete driveway). I tried to get more pictures yesterday but the pups didn’t stick around long enough. My wife saw four of the pups a couple of days ago and another guy came along and said there were five pups. I wonder which cabin they are using for their den! 🙂

We came around the bend to find the family in the middle of the road. Mama quickly headed off the road. The pups all milled around looking at each other, “Hey where’d Mom go? Wanna play? Look there that huge wheeled thing! Whoa, sister ran off that way, let’s follow her!” And away the pups trotted after one with sense.

They need some survival lessons pronto!

Cool! The most I’ve seen is three. They definitely have a den there somewhere. A friend of ours saw the pups too in the same area. Cuties when they are young!

We saw them midday today, Mom and 4 pups!

I saw the three pups again yesterday (Saturday). Same area but mother wasn’t with them. Maybe I should put my trail cam over there for a few days!

Hey!! That’s even better! I’ll try to fatten up those pups!

Oh, there are also a few ground squirrels I hope the coyote’s will snack on!

Thanks Allen. I know the spot well…our place is right around the corner on Walapar!

So cute!!!

It’s at the beginning of Ottawa as it turns from Highway 4, and before you get to the first street which is Walapar. See attached map.

Actually I think it was closer to the creek than my map shows. As I recall they were coming up from the creek.

Cool!!! For reference, what’s the nearest cross-street?

[allen]

Yesterday we were coming home and there was a coyote (presumably mama) and three pups crossing the street at the beginning of Ottawa (near Hwy 4). All I had was my iPhone so I took a picture with it. By the time I got out of my truck and took the picture, two of the pups had already turned around and went back. The last pup was still on the road but headed back too. Here’s a picture.
