The Suburban Burlington Coyote

by Bob Bryden
(Burlington, Ontario, Canada)

I saw a Coyote at the corner of Upper Middle and Augustine in Burlington, Ontario while driving home from work the other night around 11:30 p.m.

It's not a romantic 'notion' to say that when you meet a WILD animal 'you'll just KNOW'.

This creature was moving rapidly but stealthily with eyes and head darting. I think it's the ears that gave it away as not being a dog and the sleekness and colouring as not being a Wolf.

There are some wooded patches and ravines in the area where I saw him.

We also had some kind of encounter a few months back while filming a scene for a movie, after midnight in a fairly secluded wooded spot.

We heard squealing type sounds at first coming from the ravine followed by a chorus of really creepy growls.

I assume there were pups nearby and the adults were getting protective.

We left the area pretty fast as the darkness was formidable.

Thanks, Bob, for sharing this story of your Coyote encounter with us@

Coyote at 11am in front of my house
by: Anonymous

I live on Inglewood Drive in Burlington. Last week at 11am on Tuesday January 31st, a Coyote walked along my street in front of my house.

It then went down the driveway to my neighbours home and down towards the lake.

'In wildness lay the preservation of the world'

Just want to add that I'm in no way a part of the pitchforks and lanterns crowd.

It gave me a sense of peace and comfort to see wild nature so close to home.

Just keep the toddlers in view.

Just saw a coyote today Jan 22, 2012) at Appleby and Upper Middle walking through the plaza (McDonald's) at 9:30am!!

I couldn't believe it and followed it behind the plaza where there is a path.

I managed to get two pictures as did another man walking his dog.

Thanks for the info - please send your pictures to us, if you can, our readers would love to see them!

The Coyote population in Burlington is normal.

Most aggression is simply of a curious nature.

As a regular to Kerncliff Park, and Confederation Park, they can be seen most days.

I have been approached by Coyotes, and their interest is concentrated on my dog.

There is no need to grab our pitch forks and light the torches, just a understanding and respect of "what could happen" is required.

I know when I'm in their territory, and they allow me a gentle trespass.

Coyotes

I saw a Coyote today, December 28th at 1:00 in the afternoon in the park behind my house. We back onto Sherwood Forest Park near the baseball diamonds. The Coyote was in the new bike path the city has put in. I often see people walking their dogs off the leash in this area. Just thought people should be a little more careful.
