City Coyote


A few years ago, Caleb and I saw a coyote in the city. I guess a few of them decided to try life in San Francisco, so they crossed the Golden Gate Bridge to settle in the Presidio (there's also been a coyote living on Bernal Hill for years, as well). I love the fact that wildlife is able to live and, in some instances, thrive, in such an urban environment. I've seen red tail hawks, peregrine falcons, snakes, possum, skunks, alligator lizards, salamanders and quail. We even have flocks of parrots (good documentary, The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill and yes, I cried). So, be careful while driving!

Sigh...this makes me miss San Francisco! I'd forgotten what it's like to live among nature...it really is a wild place at heart, which is why I guess it attracts such a wild, eclectic mix of people!
