Thank you for another great piece. I am actually doing research on nonlethal means of encouraging coyotes to "move along" from my farm animals. Some of the same strategies used for discouraging wolves can be tweaked and used for coyotes as well. I absolutely love listening to their singing at night and in the early mornings, but I also raise sheep and goats. Peaceful coexistence is my goal and I will do my part to keep my stock from appearing as easy prey. Coyotes are incredibly interesting animals and so, so smart! I admire their perseverance and adaptability.
Hi MaryAlice and thank you for your goal of peaceful coexistence. I'm not sure where you are getting info but three good sources are the Wood River Wolf Project, Coyote Watch Canada, and Project Coyote. I'd love to hear how this works out for you. And Mary and I share your love of coyote singing.
Thank you for the sources. I will check them out. I have been looking at several scientific studies as well as looking at the resources that People and Carnivores has on their site.
We have coyotes here on Long Island NY. I expect to see more of them when I relocate to Arizona. It's time to stop the war against all Wildlife in this country! Many thanks for this article.
Wow, on Long Island? I assume that your area is pretty urban. Is it? I sure agree that we have to stop the war on wildlife. We have to start coexisting. It's not a matter of learning how to coexist; we know how. I hope you enjoy Arizona.
Coyotes are amazing animals! I live in Central NY and they are often given a bad reputation. I wish more people understood how vital they are to the ecosystem and how to co-exist with them.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Laura. I'm glad to hear coyotes live in Central NY, and I agree that we need to be better at coexisting with them--and so many other creatures.
Here in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago we see them almost daily. I have always been an advocate for them. Thank you again Rick !
Hey, Terri, thanks for that Chicago update. Do the coyotes howl in the suburbs or are they silent?
We live close to a hospital and they love to chime in with the sirens.
Thanks for replying. I can picture coyotes doing that.

Nice one, Bro!
Thanks, Rus. I really do enjoy coyotes.
God's Dog! I love them. I just smile and even laugh when I hear them at night in central Utah.
Mary and I were in Utah recently and went to sleep to the sound of coyotes calling. Wonderful!
