This educational coyote photo exhibit went up, appropriately, before Father’s Day, and was entitled, “Pops & Pups: Perpetual Motion” to show the interactions between a father coyote and his very young pups. The aim, as with all of my work efforts, has been to counter the bad rap coyotes have been receiving, and to open people’s minds and hearts to these co-inhabitants of our city. A photo is worth a thousand words, and my photos have the capacity to help people understand, accept and even embrace our coyotes as individuals and as a population — at a distance, of course!
For the last 17 years I’ve dedicated myself to getting this information — all documented first-hand with my camera — to the public through exhibits, informational slide presentations, one-on-one chats with folks in the parks, flyers, 3″ guideline cards, videos, my blog and my Instagram accounts — I’ve been filling a void that many people have asked me to fill. The exhibit has been abruptly cancelled as of this weekend by our Park Department for criticizing their handling of the Botanical Garden incident, as can be read in previous postings.
