“This is made worse because my neighbor puts food out for the “German shepherds”. LOL”
Did you get a look at them? Sounds more like a pack of feral dogs to me. Btw, which are far more dangerous than coyotes. Until you’re sure of which they are stay clear. Feral dogs are generally not afraid of humans and have been known to take down humans. coyotes generally are leary of humans and will leave them alone.
They are coyotes. I googled the noises they make and it was exactly like that.
Supposedly coyotes are lazy and will go for any easy eats.
The coyotes have been around here, but not this close. This summer I looked out back and a giant skunk was eating out of her dishes back there.
She thought those were cats I’m sure.
I saw coyotes in Memorial Park in Houston TX, but they looked like hybrids.
That park is entirely surrounded by city for miles.
Now that coyotes are interbreeding with wolves in Canada they’ve gotten larger and more agressive in much of the eastern US. A couple of years ago in my town a cop shot a coyote that was approaching a woman in a graveyard (he happened to be passing by, she was totally oblivious) and the thing turned out to be almost 100 pounds. I’ve seen many others that look at least that large. In Concord (mega-wealthy and insanely liberal) this past summer I saw a large coyote lounging in a field about 60 yards away from a bike path and stopped on a bench to see how people would react. Many people going by, all full of oohs and aahs, one lady expressed concern that the sun might be too hot and if only there was some shade for it to sit under!
