coyote

spotted one wandering about the cul-de-sac this morning. my dog has been growling the last couple of nights i've taken her out out before going to bed. i didn't see anything, but i surmised this might be a possibility, and this morning, clear as day spotted him. called animal control and let them know, but they're quite blase about it. apparently they're all over the place.

Coyotes must be hard up for food. They have taken to exploring the backyards of vegetarian (just assuming) households too.

i am vegetarian at home, but none of the neigbors are and our houses are not fenced in. so the coyote can easily wander from yard to yard.

i doubt very much they are wandering around in the hope of finding human food scraps. our neighborhood also abounds in small mammals - bunnies, squirrels, wood chucks and things and turkeys. i recently spotted three turkey hens with babies in tow. i wonder if the coyote is attracted to these prey.

wow, what was the lagtime between seeing the coyote and calling animal control? you seem to have acted very fast. cuz when I see these things in my mom's backyard or crossing the street, I just run back into the house.

30 seconds after i was sure it was a coyote and not some stray german shepherd. i had the benefit of my dog growling the two previous nights when i took her out.

They sell coyote urine in bottles for use as a deterrent for deer, bunnies, etc., i.e., the deer and rabbits who come and eat your flower and vegetable garden. Now, with a real coyote roaming in the neighborhood, you will be rid of the deer menace (and save some money too), and watch the tomatoes up to the red color.

Understandable. Vegetarians can be quite delicious. Try one some time.
