Since it has gotten warmer, I have been itching to get out of the house and get some exercise. We do live on a back road, which you would think we could easily walk on, but there is way too much traffic from the farm including large trucks stirring up dust and hauling loads of manure.....which means dust and a not so pleasant smell. So, there is a dirt road that goes out behind our house into the desert which they use to get to all the irrigation pivots. I took Izz with me and we tried it out. The second time we went while Jed was still at work and came within about 300 feet of a coyote. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me. :( So, the next time I took Jed and my camera. :)
Jed and Izz
Found this footprint in the dried mud. Any ideas what it could be??

Izz and I in the alfalfa
Izzy loves the alfalfa, so we decided to try her off the leash and.....
She ran...
and ran....
and ran.... (Every once in a while she'd turn around and make sure we were still there. "Are you guys coming??")
and ran.....
and ran.....
AND RAN!!!! I've never seen a happier dog! So cute :)

I'm thinking they might be chicken talons. I've they have large ones out there.
Wow. Desert - large chickens, alfalfa...what country are you living in? Seems like such a different world.
Haha! The chickens do have large talons out here!
Coyotes huh? You shouldn't be too aweful scared, isn't there some behind your parents house? It would be cool to take a picture of one, but maybe not if the dogs with you! lol! It really is a complete different world out there, isn't it!? I can't believe how flat it is.
