I know they've just been lurking down in the Savannah but the rain really brings them out of hiding.
A couple of weeks ago, I stepped out onto my front porch just before 8 in the evening and saw a couple of white puffy tails bounding through the yards and into the Savannah.
Then to my amazement I also spotted a mangy coyote standing in the middle of the street watching them go, and then me.
He just stood there, fearless, staring at me until I clapped my hands and shouted a "hey!" at him.
Then he turned and casually loped after the bunnies, perhaps planning his evening meal.
Several cats have disappeared in our development in the past few months and one of my neighbors and I have agreed that they probably became "coyote candy".
This bunny in my backyard has been slightly color-enhanced by my computer but you can see how they can stand without the slighest move and be virtually invisible to the human eye.
But perhaps not to the eye of the wily coyote.
