I've seen them at Discoveryu Park and at the Zoo, lots of food with all the
mallard nesting on site. A few of years ago we had a coyote dig under our
perimeter fence, with buried dog barrier and set up a den where we found
three offspring. Unfortunately we didn't find them until after the mother
had taken a Sandhill crane.
