Coyote
Two weeks ago when I walked along Parsons Branch, I saw folks standing with their binoculars and asked if they were birdwatchers. They said there was a deer family on this side and a coyote on the other side, looking at the fawns. When I walked back down the road, I saw the deer family with three young ones cavorting all over and fortunately, no sign of the coyote. Must still be on the prowl...
