Not really, since I'm nowhere near anyone's backyard. Maybe you have a better viewpoint. Care to share what you observed?; 5/13/16, 7:28 AM

Maybe it was running across at the same time as the Professor's, but it just took that long for the light to reach you. Is your backyard by any chance 1,439,003,798.4 kilometers deep?; 5/13/16, 1:31 PM

Let me guess, you hunt to control the deer population as a public service, right? They probably aren't coyotes, which travel singly and in pairs, they are probably coyote wolf crosses, which have spread over the whole Northeast from a starting point apparently in Ontario.

The fewer deer around her the better. Coy dogs welcome. Keep your tiny helpless pets indoors or in the city.; 5/13/16, 2:04 PM
