There are probably many pregnant female coyotes around right now. They are hungry and will attack. Make sure you don't leave garbage outside even in cans. The scent attracts smaller prey that will in turn attract coyotes. If you cook outside clean up your grill and take everything that has any food scent inside. These are things that bring coyotes into neighborhoods.
We have huge owls. They are silent. When I have been outside on sunny mornings I have had shadows move over my head. I look up and see a huge owl landing on a branch nearby. I once thought that owls were asleep once the sun came up but, no, they are still awake and hunting. I won't walk Gracie until 10 or 11:00 AM and never at dusk.
We have had a huge hawk move into the area. The birds get all upset when he is near here. I don't know how daring they are but he is big enough to do some damage to a little dog or cat. At least the smaller birds make a lot of noise so I know when he is out there. |
