Subject: OT: [Tweeters] Coyotes On Capital Hill

There has been a family of as many as 5 coyotes living near the Center for Urban Horticulture and the Union Bay Natural Area (UBNA) - not too far from Interlaken Park really when you think about it. Seems likely that one or more of them have made their way to the large park at Interlaken and the many alleyways and hidey holes nearby.

On a different wildlife note, it appears that the raccoons have been most prolific this year. I have seen many families, one as large as 6 members total at the UBNA. Always amazes me how much wildlife lives with us in the urban landscape. Opportunities for opportunists abound!

Hello tweeters.
Before I get started I would like to take a moment to remember Patrick, although like many I have never met him his writing touched all of us and we will miss him greatly. It is so nice to see a group of people so caring for each other. You will always have a place in our hearts.



Two days ago while walking on 17th and highland at about 10:00 at night my brother spotted a coyote directly across the street from him. The coyote passed pack and forward and then scampered off towards interlaken park. I have seen signs around the neighborhood saying, "warning coyotes have been seen attacking neighborhood pets!" but thought that maybe they had been mistaken for a large stray dog. The only place they could be living is in Interlaken park for volunteer is much to small and doesn't have nearly enough cover. (for those of you not familiar with interlaken it is a large stretch of park going from monlake to capital hill) If anyone has something to say about the coyotes I would love to hear it!
Thanks,
