My niece who lives in El Cerrito says they see coyotes walking in the street in broad daylight all the time. Sounds to me like the East Bay hills are turning into a wildlife preserve despite the fact that people are living there too.
All the wildlife displaced by development are moving back in, coyotes, skunks, opossums, raccoons, hawks have all returned to urban areas and they are not one bit fearful of man.
Plenty of coyotes in North Texas, too. Saw one strolling down the street. A few hundred yards from an elementary school. They’re more common in the rural areas.
