Pine Hollow Lodging

Eastern coyote (Canis latrans) is an established species in New York. After hearing a family group of coyotes howl, it is easy to get the impression that the w...oods must be overflowing with coyotes. In reality there were probably five or six animals present (i.e. two adults and young of the year). A few coyotes make a tremendous amount of noise when they want to. The Eastern coyote does not form a true 'pack' with multiple adults living together like their relative the wolf. Instead they are organized as a 'family unit.’ Each family unit is made up of the adult pair and their pups from the current year. A family unit will defend a territory of 2 to 15 square miles against other coyotes. It is the territorial behavior of coyotes that limits their numbers in any one area.

Chase is more interested in the smell of fresh snow than the fact that my car is at a 30 degree angle having slid on the ice under the snow having stopped in the three foot high drift.
