More and more articles about coyotes are appearing which give a more rounded view of coyotes along with useful guidelines for coexistence. These are replacing the sensationalist and fear-provoking writeups which predominated only a few years ago. Thank you, Tripp Robbins and Half-Moon Bay Review for your contribution in this direction!

[*One clarification: I’ve actually been studying/documenting many more than just one coyote family here in San Francisco over the last 13 years. It’s been as high as 11 locations and as many as seven families at one time. I’m limiting myself to four families in-depth these days, and a simple “check-in” with the others: if I see something exciting occurring in those where I simply check-in, I dive in deeper there.]

Been co-existing with Coyotes for 16 years now. They respect my boundaries and I respect theirs. Keep food away from your home. Do Not feed them, Also keep water sources away from you home. ex. Fountains/ponds. Keep your small pets indoors or very well secured outside.

Exactly. I would add, for THEIR sake, keep your distance, too. Thanks, Aceman!
