Coyotes have been more visible than usual this time of year - blame the prolonged drought. Aside from the usual blame on open trashcans & people feeding their pets outside & not picking up the food bowls, coyotes might find urban chickens enticing.

Coyotes are attracted to the smell of food & trash. I've received a number of early morning (6-7AM) coyote sighting reports around India & Silver Lake Blvd, near Ralph's. We should be looking at restaurants & grocery stores leaving trashcans open. See the Google Map of the Ralph's overflowing trash areas above & their proximity to India St & Silver Lake Blvd homes. People want to live near shops & restaurants, but don't always think of the unintended consequences.
