In the middle of the day?
I thought coyotes roamed mostly from dusk to dawn.
One early morning I walked down my dad’s long drive to get the paper and saw a coyote running down the street with breakfast in its mouth.
Thought it was probably a rabbit or a cat(poor thing).
Once it saw me, it veered into a neighbor’s yard.
Coyotes saunter down the residential streets in Ft Worth any time of day. Not araid of people. One trotted past a group of children playing in their yard in broad daylight. All this right next to a busy park and schoo. They kill the small pets, cat, dogs whatever. Someday they will take down a small child then maybe, or not, the city will deal with the problem.
I see coyotes out in mid-day now and then on my day hikes here in the SF Bay Area.
