I heard a coyote howling in Benicia last night. A high-pitched, warbling, soprano barking — Yi-Yi-Yi! It sounded like there were two or three.
It riled the other domestic dogs in the neighborhood and they started to bark. It was like the ripples of a stone tossed in a quiet pool as the barking slowing spread throughout the neighborhood. What a great sound to go to sleep by.
HERE’S WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE:

We live on Vargas Road in Fremont–a rural area. In the past few months a pack has moved in next to us. The howl almost every evening. Cute critters–unless I were a ground squirrel!

Up in the Martinez hills, west of the 680/4 interchange. It was a short-lived but really neat experience!
