Calls of the Wild

I have seen and heard some interesting animals lately. While we do not have the songs of the whales, we do have some animals that "sing" from time to time.


This is the snout of an animal that often "sings" by the light of the moon.

These eggs belong to an animal that is making its journey through Indiana. Its "song" tells us that spring is here. I saw two huge "parents" just last week in a field near the river on my way home from school.

Can you guess these animals? More importantly, can you guess their "songs"?
When you do, I will post a site where you can find instructions on how to make these animals through origami, much like Tammy Yee makes sea creatures.

I'm here to tell you that this creature sings by the light, the dark, the presence, the absence and all in between. At least on our island.

This looks like the coyotes we see everywhere on the island! There are more coyotes here than anyplace I've ever been, including the wilds of Montana.

They sing. They yip. They yowl. they sing so much, no dogs on the island even pay attention anymore!

Can you give me a hint? Like a picture, maybe?

A hint for which animal?

There is a picture of the nose of one of the animals.

Maybe you mean you need a clue for the other one??? There is a picture there of its nest. Look closely and you will see some feathers. These are also a clue.
