Photo: Jonathan Vandiveer, October 10, 2013. Just after 8:30 AM Thursday, a good sized coyote walked right past Vandiveer's car, in the middle of Allesandro St. between Cove & Oak Glen, and through a gap in the 2 Freeway fence at this location. (Click on photo to enlarge.)
Keep your dogs on a leash and don't leave your small animals outside, unattended.
With the drought, natural prey animals (rats & gophers) are more scarce, so expect more daytime coyote sightings. But then it's not unusual to see coyotes in the daytime in our neighborhood. I also think the proliferation of urban chicken farming in our area draws coyotes into more backyards.
Hey Silver Lake Neighborhood Council: maybe you should declare the 2 Freeway parkways a coyote reserve so CalTrans won't tear out all the trees to build a giant sound wall between Oak Glen & Rosebud on Allesandro St. (That's why we don't have a bigger meadow at the Silver Lake Reservoir.)

It barely rained yesterday, just enough to make the cars really dirty and the streets really slick.
The last measurable rain in the Corralitas rain gauge was July 11, 2013.
October 10, 2013: 0.1"
