Karin and Robert will discuss coyote characteristics and how we can enjoy living with them in our cities and suburbs just like we enjoy watching the birds.
Coyotes are highly resilient creatures able to adapt to threats and acclimate themselves in almost every environment, including cities and suburbs. As a keystone carnivore, coyotes play a critical role helping to maintain healthy ecosystems and species diversity.
The presentation will look at the current challenges coyotes face in a rapidly evolving human-centric landscape. They will examine the coyotes’ seasonal behaviors that often influence increased sightings and dispel some of the most common myths. And, they will discuss proactive methods we can use to help avoid negative encounters with coyotes.
