We both thought we were hallucinating but discussions with Rob Gibbs (MNCPPC) at the time turned up the fact that coyotes were known to be breeding in the Western and Northern parts of Montgomery County. We've never seen one in our yard since but the following article from the 17 April Washington Post puts us all on notice that we have another mammal to share our state, and perhaps our yards, with! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2194-2002Apr17.html ===================================== Norman C.
