We've had the same female coyote/bush wolf on the property for the last six years. A loner, she seemed attracted to machinery and would watch tractors by the hour.

She died Sunday night. Suffering from mange, she succumbed to the cold and possible infection from frostbite sores. The timber guys found her under their truck Monday morning.

She kept the rodents in check, provided me with endless stories for urban friends, and occasionally allowed me to impress a visitor. On more than one occasion I was yakking on about the coyote while touring the woodlot, and out she walked, checked out the new voices, and trotted away.

I looked at the carcass this afternoon. She was quite well fed, even plump, and about the build of a standard poodle, maybe two inches shorter. I saw her last spring through my telescope, buck naked, plump and pregnant. A biologist expressed amazement that she had survived a winter without hair. I guess her luck ran out with this cold snap.

We'll miss her, but six years is a pretty good run for a wild animal.
