Encountering Coyotes: Signs of Coyotes

​
A flash of gray out of the corner of your eye could have been a coyote, but it also could have been a cat, a dog, or something else. When an animal rushes by you may never be certain, but if you have a chance to look for a little longer at the furry stranger in your neighborhood, there are a few simple things that can help you distinguish a coyote from similar animals.
