Coyotes in Aurora
by Zoe
I was walking down a dead-end street that had a path through the hydro field that leads into a subdivision. At first I had thought that the Coyotes were a couple of Foxes as they seemed small. As I approached the path I could see them running around and playing together. They did not run away as I approached, but seemed to lay down in the grass, the street light reflecting their eyes looking straight at us. Not wanting to test the situation further I turned around and walked back up the dead-end street to find another way home. As I approached the next building my dogs picked up a scent. I walked in the street to give distance between myself and the bushes surrounding the building. I then proceeded down a lit street that started with industrial buildings and again led into the same neighbourhood. As I started down the street a single Coyote crossed about 30 feet ahead. Since it was well lit I continued down the street watching carefully until I was amongst the homes. When I got home my husband didn't believe me that they lay waiting in the grass. I know that there is a den on the golf course nearby, but this is the closest encounter I have had with them and I usually walk my dogs late in the evening. Wow, you sure had a close encounter of the Coyote kind! Thank you so much for telling us about this!
