West Seattle wildlife: Caution, coyotes crossing

From Jodi, by the southwest end of The Bridge:

I just wanted to let you know that coyotes have been very active in our neighborhood the last two nights. This morning at 4 am there was one in front our house yelping and running up and down the street (4000 block of Fauntleroy Way SW) along the West Seattle Bridge between the pedestrian overpass and the light at 35th. It was having a fit because there was another coyote on the road (West Seattle bridge) running back and forth between the east and west bond lanes trying to figure out how to get over the chain link fence to join it companion. We watched them for over 10 minutes before they both headed towards the pedestrian overpass. There wasn’t much traffic at that time of the morning on a Saturday, but it could be deadly other days of the week.

    I had a coyote run in front of my car a few weeks ago, around 11 am, between Andover and Charlestown on 38th. A neighbor on 39th has had a coyote in her backyard on several occassions in the same vicinity, in the morning hours. There is a house on 40th I believe that has a lot of chickens and perhaps the smell of the chickens is bringing them around here.

Sorry, comment time is over.
