The flying object looked like a leaf- there is an animal moving down on the right corner- you can see its eyes and it loookes like a coyote

I don't know if there was much wind that night. I'm sure that the animal at the end is a yote because he/she was hanging around for most of the night and I ended up with a lot of pics. Sounds like a leaf is the consensus. I was hoping for something more exotic.

That definitely looks like a coyote, the eyes are too far forward to be a deer. The flying thing does not look like a leaf to me. For one, it would have to be blowing about 50 miles an hour for a leaf to fly completely horizontaly.
Reminds me of a show I saw late one night many years ago. These videographers photographed some weird things that had wings forward and back and kind of flew in corkscrew patterns down in the tropics. They only showed up on the film, you couldn't see them otherwise.

I would guess a grasshopper.
If that was coyote he was prob' looking for a crunchy little protein snack and kicked it up just off screen.
BTW- I saw that corkscrew weirdness as well. They couldn't catch them with nets, they said they seem to evaporate or disintegrate on contact with anything...crazy show!
The disclaimer at the end is rad!

Interesting about the rods, makes sense after watching the 2nd video.
Watch the first video and stop it right where the animal appears with it's head down. Ears are laid back and far too long to be coyote, looks very much like a deer. Then watch it bit by bit as it raises it's head. Too tall for a yote, this is defineitely a deer.

Oh man, they figured out what the rods were....
Saw the show way back before they had high speed cameras and they couldn't figure out what the rods were. I guess yours was probably a moth. Still looks like a coyote to me though with that pointy nose and eyes set forward.

Here is a better still of the yote taken at the same time as the video clip.
Since I'm in Snohomish and it has been cold and rainy I don't think the flying object could be an insect. I'm thinking some kind of nocturnal hummingbird? I'm sure there was little wind blowing that night.

Moths will fly as long as the temp is over freezing. Could be the yote disturbed its hidey hole. More likely to be a flying rod than a hummingbird this time of year. Hummers need nectar to fire their little engines and it is also way too cold.
