Lake Tahoe is a favorite getaway for Bay Area residents. With its gorgeous mountains, beaches and wildlife, there’s truly something for everyone in this corner of California. And one of those things was captured on a trail camera last week, in the middle of the night — coyote song in all of its majestic glory.
Let us come together now and marvel at its cadence and pitch. Let us try to comprehend why Lake Tahoe locals have (very generously) nicknamed local packs “The Singin’ Dawgs.” And let those of us with truly masochistic streaks keep this footage open on our phones to listen to before we fall asleep each night.
Apparently, coyotes usually sound like this when they’re trying to warn other packs of their presence, or call back members of their group. In this case, and having watched this video several times with almost zero previous knowledge of coyote behavior, it looks an awful lot like Brian and Meredith are trying to wrangle Barbara and Todd home so they can go over the evening’s events. Clearly, the gossip was urgent.
