It was a magnificent beast, standing in the middle of our front lawn, looking at sea. At first I thought it was a dog but the configuration was not quite right so on closer look I decided it was a coyote. I was in the kitchen so I called Ken and told Mel and Pat. He loped onto the field so we went up the outside stairs to get a better look. We watched him for ten minutes as he hunted for his dinner, pouncing on something moving in the tall grass. He looked young which was why he was in full view in our front yard.
Just at dinner Vinal mentioned that the coyotes are getting brave and fearless and acting in unusual ways. Cats and dogs have been disappearing and many folks have noticed coyotes in full view. In the past they were always well hidden. Now we have our own coyote living in the field beside the house. It is very exciting.

Coyotes are not a benign animal. A few weeks ago just over the fence behind our townhouse, a neighbour witnessed a coyote take down, kill and drag away a fawn. This despite her yelling at him. Maybe you need a visit from animal control; before the girls come.
