@theoregonian Urban coyotes are everywhere in the Portland area. They are highly adaptable and agile, able to swim rivers, clear tall fences, climb onto roofs and cross freeways. In the city, coyotes are often a little larger and in better condition than their rural counterparts because food is available year-round. Their menu includes squirrels, rats and other rodents, fruit from decorative trees, Himalayan blackberry thickets and, unfortunately, sometimes small pets left outside. Add in garbage, birdseed and pet food people leave out, and it is easy to see why coyotes do so well here. --@Mark_W_Graves, The Oregonian/Oregonlive Clink the link in our bio to read more about Oregon wildlife.
