Second coyote photo of the week – thanks again! Just keeping track of our urban wildlife. This photo was texted this morning from the Fairmount Park/Playfield area, Fauntleroy Way and SW Dawson [map]. As always, heres the gold-standard advice from the state Fish and Wildlife Department – including what to do if you see one nearby – do your best to scare it away – coexistence for us, them, and the rest of the urban ecosystem depends on them wanting to keep their distance.
We live in Arbor Heights on 40th Ave SW between SW 102nd St and SW 104th St and yesterday morning we saw a coyote in your backyard around 11 am. Coincidentally our neighbor’s cat has been missing since yesterday and we think the coyote might have caught it. I’ve never a coyote before in our backyard and we think they are becoming less afraid of people. So those with pets and even small dogs be careful and watchful.
I see coyotes all the time where I work and have to scare them off. I usually just run towards them doing my best “bear roar” impersonation and they take off running. For the most part, coyotes don’t want anything to do with people.
Had a coyote on my back deck on the 16th, at night. Live near Fauntleroy Park uphill from Endoline . Looked healthy but suffering from Early mange.
