Coywolves (or Eastern Coyotes).

OK I've stared and stared at the previous video...I know at around 11 to 12 s something flies out in a hurry from the top of the composter...it appears to have flown from a position perched on the composter but I can't see it in the frames before.....I give up...what is it?

I am pretty sure it is a Northern Saw-whet Owl. There was one hanging around for much of the winter which I saw from time to time during daylight hours (it even left some poop and pellets on my patio).

I found some kind of pellet that had coyote nails in it earlier in the spring.
