Coyotes Wandering Into Local Neighborhoods

NIPOMO - Lorraine Vidal shows off her vegetable garden she's tended for decades at the base of the foothills that overlook all of Nipomo.

A descendant of the pioneering Dana Family, Vidal has seen her share of coyotes over the years

"When we had sheep, they used to come in for the babies", Vidal says, "we lost two or three that way and they leave the carcass so you know it's a coyote."

Coyotes are part of the Central Coast ecosystem and are monitored by county, state and federal wildlife agencies.

"Coyotes are highly adaptive to the urban interface", says Larry Hawkins, spokesperson the U.S.D.A. in Sacramento, "the reason they like those place is they have an abundance of food, shelter and a lack of predators."

Coyotes are more prevalent after they give birth to their pups when the need for food is greater.
