Twice, in the night, I have heard the yipping of coyotes. It's a weird sound, like frightened puppies. The first time I heard it, it sounded like a bunch of doomed rabbits being carried off by foxes, and it took a while to figure out what I'd heard. A neighbour told me the woman down the road saw about 45 coyotes in a pack running down our street one night. The pack included several young ones. I know coyotes don't often attack humans, but if they have their young with them, they might get defensive/aggressive, so I don't plan on any midnight strolls. I think it's rather wonderful to know we're in such close proximity to the wild. But yes, caution is prudent.
Question: where do they go during the day?
