Doubt I'd written this one up if weren't for the coyote and where I saw it. I judged by its small size and curiosity that it was an adolescent. Just about sunset as I left the 7th Ave TH going N toward Shaw Butte, this nice-looking animal passed in front of me by about 25 yards. That put the coyote about 75 yards from the nearest house, and I worry about that. It stopped three times to look at me and then disappeared into the big ravine that leads down to the SW dam. First time I'd seen a coyote in that part of the park. My fear is that the North Mtn pack will someday be exterminated if homeowners complain loud enough.
