Eastern Coyote: We saw a coyote on Sunday morning, Feb. 10 beside the Westview Village (Lansdowne Street west) pond, on the north side of Harper Park. It had been lying down in the snow nearby, then wandered around the pond area and ran back into the forest. I managed to get several pictures of it from inside our house. It was really favoring its right rear leg, but it still seemed to be very mobile and able to trot along quite well without a problem. Rene Gareau, Lansdowne Street

American Crows: I live on Walkerfield Avenue in Peterborough. About once a week there is an enormous murder of crows (anywhere from 40 to 60) that lands on the road and lawns at my corner. They peck away at the road but I cannot imagine what they are finding to eat! There have also been the same number of crows gathered in a single tree many times a week this winter in many parts of the west end. Catherine Dibben

Snow Buntings: I’m sending along a picture of the Snow Buntings that showed up on February 1st on our farm in Indian River. They were here last year too. I think they remembered that I put bird food out for the Rock Pigeons, Wild Turkeys, Blue Jays and anyone else who might show up. My husband set up our trail camera to catch this photo. I love watching the flock fly around and listen to their pretty chirping! Sandra Yeoman, Indian River
