I know coyotes are a problem at The Farm. They sure keep the dogs busy patrolling the perimeter. Sammy especially seems to enjoy keeping coyotes and other predators away from the chickens.
But I never thought I’d have to worry about coyotes in Oak Park.
Our local Patch has this roundup of stories in the local papers about coyote sightings.
Apparently, Oak Park has enough wildlife to attract the interest of the Urban Wildlife Institute of Lincoln Park Zoo, which is considering studying our area, according to the Wednesday Journal.
I haven’t seen any coyotes yet, but I’ve seen plenty of rabbits, raccoons, opossums and junior hawks. Maybe we should start our own urban wildlife journal.

A wildlife journal would be cool. We've seen red fox roaming in the middle of Wichita. And urban deer can be a problem. Coyotes: they can be trouble — depending on how you feel about cats.

Coyotes are everywhere in Oak Park and River Forest, but man, I was totally floored when I saw a flock of Quaker Parrots hanging out in a tree eating berries in the middle of January in Oak Park!
