Some recent sightings

These are just rehashed from comments on the last post, but below are a few recent, detailed sightings around the hood.

This morning, Sept. 4, 2009, at about 7:10 I was driving down Dunster Road from Centre Street towards Jamaica Pond. When I was in front of 100 Dunster, I saw a cayote trotting down the sidewalk on the south side of the street. It was fawn colored and larger than any other I had seen before, about the size of a skinny German Shepard. When I stopped the car to look it continued down the street towards Dane Street.

I live at 100 Dunster Rd. Friday, Sept. 4, when I went out to get my newspapers, I saw this same coyote right in front of my house. He was very large and seemed to becoming out of our driveway. I had just let my cat out the backdoor, so rushed in to get him back into the house.

I, too, saw the coyote at 100 Dunster on Sept 4. I was walking my dog on the sidewalk and saw the coyote pouncing in and out of the shrubs in front of 100 Dunster. I shouted at the coyote who trotted off down the sidewalk. After the coyote had left, a large ginger and orange cat emerged from the shrubs and ran down the driveway and into the back yard.

This is my third coyote sighting in 3 weeks. The first was on Aug 18, across from 56 Prince St when I saw a coyote leap up a tree to grab a neighbor's cat. After a tussle at the base of the tree, the coyote trotted down the middle of the street holding the cat by the scruff of its neck. Later on that day, another neighbor found the cat's body in his yard.

The second sighting was of a coyote trotting down the sidewalk of Prince St. on Aug 28.

I heard there was a coyote around the Eliot Street/Eliot Place area around a week or two ago (Sept. 13). I want to warn cat owners to keep the cats in. Can you help?

Thanks, all. I'll do my best to keep posting when things come up. If there are other coyote-related things you'd like to see on the site, please let me know.
