We are getting more reports on our wild life activities in Marquez Knolls. The recent return of deer into the Marquez Knolls green belts may have attracted coyotes initially. Such a pattern is cyclical. Most importantly, don't feed the coyotes or any other wild animals, or allow them access to your trash cans to feed on. Coyotes are very intelligent predators and opportunists, they share the wilderness with us and anything we do to increase their food supply, (may it be trash, rabbits, rats, or squirrels) will attract them. Of course accessible household pets are just as attractive to them so please keep them safe.

The animal control officer I spoke with a couple of years ago suggested using an air horn to scare them away. We keep one handy in the house and carry one on our walks.
