We actually had a coyote on our cul-de-sac a couple of years back. I was surprised they came so deep into residential neighborhoods..............................
Are you kidding? Coyotes have been colonizing San Francisco for over a decade. They come into urban areas now.
Thanks to the decline in other predators (wolves in particular) and availability of household pets as food sources (coyotes aren't very effective predators of deer, for example, preferring smaller prey), coyotes are reported from Alaska to as far south as the south (east) bank of the Panama Canal.
