Why coyote sightings spike in your neighborhood

Late winter is when coyotes really make their presence known around homes, thanks to their mating season and a hunt for easy meals. If you’ve noticed more of them cutting through backyards or parks, it’s not random—this is the time when they roam more, get bolder, and are hungrier than usual. Spring brings another wave as they guard dens and pups, and fall sees young coyotes testing the edges of suburbia. The real risk is to pets, not people, so keeping dogs leashed and food secured goes a long way. Anyone else seeing more coyotes lately?
