We have Coyotes in Pinellas County, Florida. Their preferred diet includes cats, rabbits, squirrels, mice, birds, etc. I live on a golf course and see them often. At least around here, they are timid and seem afraid of human interaction.

Here in Indian River County, we have Coyotes walking through our back yards, guess they must have the gate code. Never had problems with them here though, more afraid of us then we of them....so far .....

Good pics. When I lived in the hills in Vermont we used to see the coyotes come up along the fence line, peeing on just about every post, and those critters were the size of small shepherds. Quite a bit bigger than the western coyotes I've seen. In the summer when the windows were open we would hear the packs at night behind our house, howling, and it was one very spooky sound. Kept a shotgun near at hand after seeing the size of them and their numbers. Always made sure our little miniature horse was in the barn at night as they could have taken him down, no problem.

Are you sure they were coyotes, and not north eastern timber wolfs?

Quite sure. Those bushy tails carried low and the very narrow snouts are very different from wolves. From what I understand, and I don't know how true it is, western coyotes crossed with wolves in Canada are what we have here in the northeast for coyotes. The northeast never had coyotes when the pilgrims first landed. There were wolves here at that time, but no coyotes. Many years ago an acquaintance had a western coyote as a pet (don't ask me why) and that coyote was quite small, a lot smaller than I had imagined coyotes to be. The first time I saw one in MA was about 30 years ago when I was walking the trails near where I lived on the South Shore, and I saw this, what I thought was a small German Shepherd walking towards me, but as it got closer I could see that this was not like any shepherd I'd ever seen. Its eyes were quite yellow, narrow face and it carried its very bushy tail quite low. When it saw me, it stopped and then ran into the woods and off the trail. Every so often I see them on the sides of the roads in NH & VT when they've lost their bet with whether they were faster than a car or truck.
