Today in and near the AHATS WOA, I Saw Coyote

I spend a few hours hanging out at the AHATS Wildlife Observation Area and ended up getting a ride around the AHATS. I saw tons of bird. The swan pair on Lake Marsden have two cygnets. The tree swallows mobbed a cooper's hawk. A song sparrow flew up close and sang at me. I also saw: northern flicker, American crow, red-winged blackbird, eastern bluebird, gold finch, house finch, heard a chickadee and saw chimney swifts.

Within the AHATS, I saw a coyote.
