Coyotes In The 'Burbs

Going out just now to put a letter in our curbside mailbox, I encountered a thickly coated, gray coyote.  It was trotting through our front yard at a good pace and didn't bother to look my way.  Probably it saw me--or more likely smelled me--coming and knew I was no threat.

It continued across our driveway and soon disappeared into the trees at the northeast corner of our neighbor's yard.

With deer, geese, turkeys, rabbits, and other creatures abundant in Brookfield, these guys don't have much trouble finding a meal. 

I'm happy to say I haven't seen any dead along with roads here.  The same cannot be said about deer.
