Coyote packs, typically families, may spread out to hunt on their own.
The howl, in this case, would be started by a pack leader with the intention of bringing the pack back together again.
A prolonged session of howling may indicate that the pack is spread out. As more and more coyotes join in, the collective howl continues to get louder and more prolonged.
Embracing the true pack mentality, coyotes are territorial creatures. One pack crossing onto the territory of another pack (often a larger or more settled one) is severely frowned upon. This is a frequent source of why coyotes howl. The howl is basically a warning, as if to say “Stay off my lawn.”
3. When do coyotes howl?
The main coyotes doing the howling are the small group (often 2) of lead coyotes who are mated and head the pack.
Because of the way that their howls change pitch as they are emitted and pass through the surrounding environment, it often sounds as though there are as many as a dozen coyotes howling at once.
This is usually not the case when orders are being barked.
However, other coyotes will howl when they need to respond. If other pack leaders are in the area, they may decide to start howling as well, and this is when coyote howls really get going.
They can stretch across acres of terrain. In suburban areas, because coyotes aren’t turned off by the houses and development, this often causes quite a noise disturbance.
The lead coyotes howl when they need to alert the group to come back together. They also howl when they are disturbed or upset.
This type of howl will be done usually by only one coyote at a time, and isn’t meant to cause a whole chorus of replies.
If you are walking your dog and the coyote catches wind of it, he may emit a howl at the perceived threat. This can also happen when no dog is present.
4. What do coyote sounds mean?
Typically, coyote sounds reflect the current communication needs of the coyote.
Whether that be a warning from the alpha coyote to the rest of the group, or one coyote noting a threat.
It can also mean that there is a disturbance or annoyance to that particular animal.
Often, coyotes will howl to alert the group of a threat real or imagined.
Maybe a coyote is wandering around the edge of a territory and comes across something of note. A howl may then be used as a signifier.
Coyotes have great hearing, and can often comprehend a howl and its purpose from over a mile away. This is especially true during group howls, as the sound carries across the landscape. A coyote may emit a howl so that others in the pack know where he or she is and can find their way to their family member.
Here is a video of different coyote howls and noises.
