"Sad when man builds his concrete jungle and forces the natives to live in its boundaries."

Coyotes have expanded their range since development has moved into their habitat. Since wolves preyed on coyotes, their absence in areas has allowed the coyote to move east and north. The litters can be as many as 19 with 50-60% not making it to adulthood. A young coyote got stuck in the elevator in the Seaattle federal building a couple of years ago.
What this all means is that there are a lot of frickin' coyotes that need grub.
