Coyotes in the Backyard
Peering through the dawn mist on a crisp morning in March, we observe a gray shadow silently pacing back and forth. Success! After days of painstaking effort, we capture a young female coyote. She, however, is not as thrilled as we are and she bares her teeth at us. This was in 2000, and little did we know at that time this animal would be the start of an amazing research project that is still continuing today.
