I did see a coyote running near Lynnhaven Postal Center at 7:45 AM while walking my previous dog Sport but the coyote then ran twenty feet from us in a huge hurry to get across the golf course and into some farm land. It did scare the golfers quite a bit.
Sport tangled with a mother opossum in our backyard. I picked him up when he was inches from her muzzle while hissing at him. Opossums have the most teeth of any North American land mammal so I was quite scared of it. But, no call to anyone as the opossum and its young had a right to be there. So, it and its pups(?) would not be easy prey for the coyotes. https://youtu.be/Q73m7i-Cl2A |
Coyotes are doing you a favor. They eat opossums, raccoon, etc. Of course, they also eat birds, bird eggs, even watermelons.
And of course, dogs and cats when available.
