Coyotes in Milton!
Am I going to need to start a new blog category just for local wildlife sightings? I’ve been seeing groups of wild turkeys around the area, but this was a new one for me…
I was driving along Centre Street in Milton near Fontbonne Academy, when I noticed an animal start to cross the street, then jump back as the car approached. As I slowly drove past and got a closer look (it was only about 10 feet from the car at this point), I realized it was a coyote! Come to find out there were 2 of them, one gray and the other brownish.
I waited until they had gone back up behind a house and were out of sight. When I started to turn around in the next driveway, what should I find myself face to face with? You guessed it. One of the coyotes had come back down next door apparently thinking it would avoid the meddling humans and head across the street.
A neighbor told me that both of these coyotes have been hanging around the neighborhood for about a week now. Every morning around the same time they come down from the same area, cross the street, head back through the fields behind one of the houses, and eventually loop their way back around the neighborhood and back across the street again. Amazing!

I have a sneaking suspicion that the coyotes are following the turkeys around.

Perhaps that’s why I’ve not seen roaming turkeys lately. I thought they were just hiding out somewhere until after Thanksgiving!
