Heavy Rains in San Francisco Produce More Mosquitos

13 Apr 2017 1 Comment

This long howling session involving coyotes communicating after a siren sounds, has been clipped throughout so as to show the coyote dealing with pesky mosquitoes by snapping at them, scratching, shaking them off, and even yawning (I deal with some things this way, too!) The deeper barking coming from the bushes is the male. He doesn’t emerge into view until the howling and the video are over. A third, distant coyote, unrelated to these two, enters the conversation once towards the end — it can be heard at about 1:16.

About My Site and Me: This website reflects my almost 20 years of intense, careful, and dedicated field-work — empirical observations — all photo-documented without interfering or changing coyotes’ behaviors. Be welcome here, enjoy, and learn! I am a self-taught naturalist and independent coyote researcher.

Coyotes reappeared in San Francisco in 2002 after many years of absence, and people are still in the dark about them. This site is to help bring light to their behavior and offer simple guidelines for easy coexistence.

My information comes from my own first-hand observations of our very own coyotes here in San Francisco. What I’m presenting to you is the reality of their everyday individual lives. They have not been studied or observed so thoroughly by anyone else. Mine is not generic information, nor second-hand.

Note that none of the coyotes I document and photograph is “anonymous” to me: I know (or knew) each one of them, and can tell you about their personalities, histories, and their family situations. There have been over 100 of them, distributed among over twenty families, all in San Francisco. Images and true stories have the power to raise awareness and change perspective.
