3:30 this morning, we were awakened by an extremely loud caterwauling; it sounded like it was right under our window, but most likely was down near the pond. We think it was coyotes (I'm finally learning to spell that word!). They yowled and howled and there was a scream. Fox scream, so I wondered if it was a group of foxes, but none of the sound files that I listened to this morning sounded like the appropriate yowls. On the other hand, I didn't find any screams in the coyote files. Perhaps the coyotes had found breakfast?
