A howl is one thing-- but actually, the hunting BARK of a coyote raises a lot more hairs on the back of my neck. Especially when it is uttered from less than 50 feet away, in the dead of night, and followed by complete silence. Was that for me?? Is the first rational thought that comes to mind. And then you realize-- I'm inside the house. That probably means I'm safe from wild animals. I've never before been quite so aware of how thin a wall is-- nor of how insignificant a barrier a pane of glass can be.
Ahh, Nature!
... to be honest, I don't think most of us would last two nights if we were really stuck out in it!
