Owls do most of their hunting at night and rely upon their hearing. They can see very well, but they rely a lot on their hearing. So, owls teach us to trust what we re hearing, and also to trust the underlying sound of what may be going on in conversation with other people. Another thing about owls is that they fly very silently. If you re staying in the canyon, you ll almost certainly hear a chorus of laughing coyotes in the early morning.
Coyotes are amazingly intelligent.
They have an extraordinary ability to adapt and move into new areas. They re the only animal whose territory is spread throughout the United States. Learning to adapt and to use whatever means is available. People often consider coyotes to be nothing but pests, but if you kill one of the alpha animals in a community, the rest of the pack will mate indiscriminately, which results in an increase in their population. They do it as a survival mechanism.
