Night Calls

For the past few nights I’ve been hearing our resident hyaena across the river.  He starts whooping a few hours after sundown and sometimes continues through the night until just before dawn.  I’m not sure what Salty and the goats think, but they never seem too bothered by it.  I enjoy his calling, all the more because a steadily rising river separates us.
