Eagle preserve between Liberty Park and Sunset Pointe
The lovely Diane and I observed, through our telescope, an adult coyote in the eagle preserve area in broad daylight about a month ago. It was basking in the sun. Coyotes are nocturnal, so I don't know why this coyote was out in the open in the daylight. Turkey vultures found the coyote interesting and were circling around so the coyote ran off to the trees for cover. The coyote appeared to be very healthy and not at all injured or weak. It had a good looking coat.
Those of us living on the northern edge of Liberty Park lightly spray our garbage bags with ammonia to keep the coyotes from tearing into them on trash nights.
I have seen raccoon tracks by the pond at the intersection fo S. Buena Vista and Bailey Trail.
Being from rural Maine we are used to living among critters.
