Hello,
Yesterday AM stopped at a large cornfield to check for birds and spotted a coyote trotting across the field. On the other side of the field there was a flock of 100 or so geese. The coyote was headed right toward the geese and the geese froze and had their heads up. The coyote came to within 10-15 yards of the geese stopping a couple times to dig and forage and then just moved alongside them ignoring them. The geese stood there not making a sound and watching. Coyote finally just moved away. It almost seemed like the coyote knew that if it went for the geese they would fly away and the geese knew that if the coyote went for them they could fly away. Interesting encounter to watch.
