Though I sometimes hear distant group howls late at night — a sound that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck and sparks instant fear in the eyes of the family dogs — it is rare that I see one out in the open during the daytime.  This coyote crossed the road in front of our car and quickly made its way to the back of an open farm field.
