Awoken today in the wee hours of morning by eerie sounds outside. Sort of a barking, yipping sound. Not too sure what was making the noise, but my hope is fox and not coyote. The cats, dog and I were all awake in a flash sometime around 3 AM - way too dark to see anything outside, too scary to go out and inspect. The sheep are all locked up in their barn in the evenings, so I knew they were safe, but I can't help wonder if they, too, were woken up and afraid in their little, sheep brains.
There's been a ton of fox scat up and down Bufflehead this summer and fall, so I'm going to hope for the best and keep my ears open for night time visitors.
