About My Site and Me: This website reflects my 18+ 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!
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. 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.

Heartbreaking. Imagine the profound sadness of the wounded coyote that lost its family so brutally. Ignorant cowards with guns. What could go wrong?

Does the phrase “got away” mean shot and injured? So that individual must suffer and heal or die undocumented?

I think I found the wounded animal, and the bullet seems not to have entered the body, but instead created a burn wound: this is healing well. I could be wrong, and in that case what you say would be true. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the animal was indeed the one I found.

Horribly sad and cruel situation..so grateful for all the hard work you do for these beautiful beings. They have no real voice ( in human terms). We that love them are their support and education system for the public.
