Coyotes are everywhere, now. Even cities. Coyotes are smart and highly adaptable. Their population pattern began changing rapidly at the end of the last century.

One morning I was surprised to see a sleek coyote run across our suburban Ohio patio. I thought they were nocturnal by nature, but I guess not always. I called my neighbors to tell them so they did not let their pets outside alone, at any time of day or night. Pets are easy prey for coyotes.

I am linking here an article from Smithsonian. The title is "City Slinkers." -- gotta love that title. If you would like to know a little more about coyotes and what they have been up to lately, you might like to read this.
