Coyote's cry (4)
I believe the answer is:
howl
'coyote's cry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for howl that I've seen before include "Lazy person" , "Long, loud, emotional cry" , "Long cry of pain" , "Long cry of dog" , "Cry (with rage or laughter)" .)
