Laure emails over the weekend:
“Pretty cool thing happening in our neighborhood: This is the second time in a week that we’ve seen a coyote in our backyard!
“The first time was last Friday at sunrise (around 7 a.m.), just passing through our yard. The second time was today while eating lunch. It was at first hiding behind the trees so we went in the back to see if it was the coyote or just the neighbor dog, and we saw it running away in the bushes just behind our house (running towards the forest west of the Sacajawea grass area). We live just next to Sacajawea school, on 17th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 96th St.
“Bring your pets inside at night, our neighbor just lost his cat and suspects now it was the coyote. The coyote looks well fed and in good health (although I’m not a vet…).
Previous coyote sightings here were in September, April and January, all of this year. That’s the January coyote in the photo.
