Coyotes have been spotted across Portland!

Sightings in and around Portland began in the 1980s and have increased over the past 15 years. Now, coyotes are regularly spotted across the Portland metropolitan area.
By providing accessible garbage cans, compost bins, outdoor pet bowls, and free-roaming pets, humans have unintentionally invited coyotes into their backyards.
