Dogs of C-Kennel by Mick & Mason Mastroianni for July 02, 2023

I’m not sure the humans could kill all the coyotes, although many would like to try.

Fungus amoung us?

I live in the middle of a dense residential area in a suburban town of 40,000, in Ventura Co., SoCal. I have seen a coyote trotting purposefully down the flood control channel that runs along my back yard fence. Also, in the semi-rural farmland about 7 miles north of town where I used to keep my horse, I have heard 3 separate coyote bands serenading one another in antiphonal chorus. I have chased them across the riding arena throwing rocks at them, and faced one down in a standoff on the trail about a mile from the stables while riding my horse (the coyote backed down first). I have also seen a bobcat strolling along the edge of an avocado orchard on that same trail. Then there is the red-shouldered hawk pair who make their home in the trees surrounding my church, a mile from my home in another densely populated area on a busy street; and I have heard owls hooting back and forth while sitting here typing on my computer. Wildlife persists and accommodates itself to humans whenever it can.

I’m in New York State, and we have coyotes and bears. I’ve seen them in the neighborhood — backyard even. We’re now seeing bald eagles along the Hudson.

You should get out more…

There are too many coyotes in running around in the cities and urban area of Northern Virginia to really latch onto this one.

Rock Hill, SC has plenty of coyotes, it’s not unusual to see them

Finally…..a reason!

Every day it’s like a zoo here …..like yesterday I had a little deer on my patio, licking up all the fallen birdseed I get all kinds of birds, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, raccoons, chipmunks and squirrels rabbits, a woodchuck, skunks, and stray cats. I love it! ☺️☺️☺️

Hawks, osprey, coyotes, black bear … life in suburban Seminole County, Florida

As others have noted, coyotes are thriving, The @#$%ing things are everywhere.

After DDT was banned, birds of prey have rebounded. I see and hear far more hawks and owls than I ever did as a child.

But bugs… yeah, bugs are in trouble. Please stop coating your lawns in poison, please.

I don’t think we have coyotes in my section of Barrie, but we do have foxes, raccoons, rabbits and other wildlife.

The fungus among us.

This reminds me of the guy in the TikTok video who was feeding birds from his apartment balcony. He declared, “I’m feeding my chickens.” They were black birds. In his other video, he went on to explain, he said he was feeding crows. In the comments people criticized him saying they were ravens. SO he made another one saying he was feeding the ravens. He was corrected again by people, “Those are crows!” “Now” he says, “They’re chickens! I’m feeding chickens!”

Lived in my little Michigan town on Lake Michigan for 46 years now and have seen the cycle of predators and prey levels over the years. Right now we are nearing the peak of prey levels and should soon see the coyotes and fox return to the abundancy of easy prey here in town.

OK then he’s feeding the raccoons, there’s plenty of them around.

suburban Northern VA here— we have personally seen in our postage stamp 1/4 acre yard— eastern coyotes, foxes, raccoons, opossum, skunks, ground hogs, rabbits, wood rats, squirrels, chipmunks, toads, terrapins, and even one sighting of a fisher that found its way up the nearby stream to take up temporary residence under our shed. Within the neighborhood there are white-tail deer, black bears and beaver. Also, birds— too numerous to name—from humming birds to eagles off the Potomac (and yes-crows.) Wildlife has adapted well to living among humans. Available water is enough to attract them.

I feed the crows, too, and the occasional but more elusive raven that sometimes shows up alone. The crows get boisterous, but I’d rather have them, then the rooster that crows all morning from a yard four houses away.

We have more and more coyotes in our city. As their numbers increase, the number of pet cats and dogs decreases.

The coyotes in the area behind my back yard moved out when the bobcat moved in. The bobcat is really beautiful. I have also seen a fox, black bear, and a plethora of deer, rabbits and squirrels. Plenty of food for the bobcat.

Tucker reminds me of a person I know who contradicts every ones opinions about just about everything. Very annoying.

Regarding ‘annoying’:- Q:- What noise annoys an oyster? A:- Any noise annoys an oyster but a noisy noise annoys an oyster the most.

Try repeating that when you’ve had a few.

Bring back Dilbert.

We have lots of coyotes and hawks here in southern Illinois.
