4 Coyotes and Rabbit on Thoroughbred 08/14/25
I haven't seen the coyotes together in awhile. 1 adult and 2 pups or 2 adults and 2 pups?

Re-lighting my Table Top Fire Pit--WHOOSH!!!!
I bought a few of these Houswise Table Top Fire Pits and filled them with glass fire beads and 100% isopropyl alcohol.
They burn very nicely, with no smoke or odor! But beware when refilling them. The glass beads and the fire pit itself get pretty hot, so the fuel sizzles when you pour it in, creating a cloud of flammable vapor above it.
And if you spill a bit onto your paper tablecloth, that makes things even spicier!
"Hey Dad! I don't want to say, 'I told you so. But I told you so.'"
And my deepest apologies to the little scarecrow who was hanging above the flames.

This is from my BI installation at work:
Hawk Drives Prey Into Window, 09/11/25
I'm not sure if this is a new hunting technique, but it works!
We heard a mighty "thump" from inside our building, and saw the birds on the ground.
If you watch to the end of the video, you'll the hawk bump into a window, and drop its prey.

Two Coyotes Jumping at Bird on Thoroughbred Trail, 09/21/25
I've never seen coyotes so interested in something before! You can see a bird flying into the tree, from the right side, at the start of the video. Then it does something in the tree to dislodge a bunch of debris, and from that point onward the coyotes just won't leave it alone. I cut out a bunch of dead air, where the coyotes were just sitting still and watching, so the entire episode lasted 7 minutes of real time.

Coyote with Prey on Thoroughbred Trail, 09/29/25
Looks like a chicken, but hard to tell.
