I can see why you never got another dog, would be most disruptive among your wild things. No mas momentos de paz.

:-) True Dale, my dogs keep me moving. John, I hope the rabbit does not go out too soon. Maybe you could have a way for him to go in and out in case he feels scared or bad.

Does the presence of wild burros around the Field Lab deter coyote depredation ?

We normally have two large Labrador Retrievers at our Hunt Camp and shoot a lot there - hunting game birds. But none of that keeps coyotes from visiting our camp every night. I suspect they know we have year round water (two guzzlers) for all wild game and the coyotes certainly like to visit us - and serenade us every night! I would bet coyotes also frequently visit the Field Lab - because in addition to lots of water sources - there is wildlife they like to eat hanging out there! Don & I learned about predator hunting tactics in the Chihuahuan Desert - by watching a large mountain lion - hunt near standing water in the Cedar Springs Creek - during a very dry year.

BTW - dogs can be trained not to harm certain wildlife and then - are not necessarily disruptive. For example, I take my Lab to the Florence City Park for a swim at least once per week. He is trained not to attack the wild geese that live there - both on the land & in the creek. I can throw his retrieving dummy in the creek near the geese - and he always only brings back his dummy and does not even bother the swimming geese. He used to wear a training collar that gives him a mild electric shock - if he forgets his instructions - but he learned his lessons well and does not need to wear a training collar any more.

I keep it simple. I have a sign on my border that says NO COYOTES ALLOWED. So far it seems to have worked.
