Coyote in Oakville
by Chris Palmer
Then he took a very keen interest in something that was little way off. At this point I grabbed his collar, feeling that a dog must be about to walk by. Then my wife spotted a "dog" crossing Westoak Trails Blvd. She then quickly said "IS that a dog?". We then realized that this "dog" was in fact a Coyote. We were quite surprised to see a Coyote crossing a busy street just before sunset. He walked calmly into the ravine area, across from our house. To confirm this suspicion we googled it a found this page. We live between Third Line and Bronte on Westoak Trails. This is a very busy residential area in Northwest Oakville. There is a very small ravine - fairly naturalized. This confirms my suspicion of a few months ago as well. At about 2am I went out for smoke and invited Stratus. He refused to go out and in fact ran back inside and hid. I then heard what I thought was an animal being attacked. Along with a lot of howling. I now know this was coyotes as well.
