The Conservation Department just called me. They've had several calls about this same cyote in our neighborhood so they're going to send out a biologist. Not sure what a biologist will or can do but at least they're sending someone to look into it. In the meantime, she gave me some suggestions...keep the garbage inside (which we do) don't feed your pets outside (which we don't) keep an eye on your pets and don't leave them out alone (which we don't) keep an eye on your kids (we don't have any of those) and quit feeding the birds...well, we do that but I never realized it would be a food source for anything other than birds or squirrels. She said they like the suet bricks, which does make sense. So, I left a message for the president of our club to see if he can send out a newsletter to everyone to be aware and let them know of the suggestions that were made. |
