Rich to clarify what i consider a "warning bark" from expierence and research is a vocalization tha sounds like a farm dog barking with very little howling involved. Maybe that is a "frustration howl" like is said before as soon as a guy thinks he has the little bastards all figured out they do something that makes you look like you know absouletly NOTHING!!!! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Some of it is that i'm not very quick to definitvely name a howl or assume i know what it is besides the basics. Like i said i base my decisions in the field on the expression in the howl more so than the cadence

Maybe there is something preceding the bark or after the bark that holds significance. A growling type bark, a yapping-growl-howl-bark, a howl-bark mixture.
Seeing as I have very few chances to hear coyotes vocalize individually or in a group I tend to soak them in when I do hear them. It gives me a bit of a rush when I hear a coyote howl.

Smithers i hear them all the time but it still gives me a rush everytime!
I can see your point but it would have to be loud enough to carry or it would make no point to make the sound. (growling and such)

ND, the growling and barking is only used to notify coyotes nearby. The bark is mainly used as an indicator of distance or as a warning, under most circumstances, especially with fox. Barks are not meant to carry as far as howls and growling is mainly a close quarters warning. If there are 2-3 coyotes and one is barking his head off and the other one, two or more escape, the bark served it's purpose.
