At about 6am this morning on my daily walk on St. Charles, I encountered a coyote at the entrance to the Amberjack Villas. It came from the opposite side of the street from the golf course and stopped about 15' in front of me on the sidewalk, facing me. It bared it's teeth a couple of times and had this funny growl. After a staredown that felt like it lasted an hour (only about 20 seconds), it took off back across the street on the golf course. This encounter really got the heart pumping for the rest of the walk. If any of you walk early or late, keep an eye out for them.
