Coyotes took carrion from young Condors and then killed the weakest ones. Osborn gives story after story of having to “haze” young condors away from admiring crowds and off cliff sites accessible to coyotes (it seems that running and yelling at the top of your lungs is a job requirement).

Maureen Eiger categorizes any unidentifiable featherless nestlings as “ Tufted Puffins ;” to Letitia Labbie, they’re “Eggs With Legs.”. Coyote bombs with sizzling wicks, so even at my sleepiest one glance at her chart would snap me into “en garde.” Hit by car, HBC; caught by cat, CBC; window strike, WS.

If cats displace ferrets, then that probably means that birds are getting hit harder than rodents, and among birds, adult birds are getting hit harder than eggs or hatchlings. adding wolves, who displace coyotes) can dramatically change the ecology and directly affect species diversity and abundance.

Dogs are similarly dispersed across size ranges, with Foxes, Coyotes, and Wolves taking prey across different parts of the size range. among the Mustilids, and Coyotes and to a lesser extent Foxes. Plus, Coyotes eat Cats. So, in areas where Coyotes are becoming re-established, the Cat problem kinda goes away by itself.

In California, coveys break up and pairs begin forming in February or March, followed by nest building and egg laying in May or June. She will usually lay 12 to 17 eggs, averaging five per week 1 , before beginning incubation. Occasionally, larger clutches occur due to egg dumping by other females. References: 1 Baicich, Paul J.

So, this pair (I assume there are two, though I only saw one today) of eagles has a territory including small dogs and stray children, baby coyotes, crows, but mainly squirrels and marmots right around its nest, and a major river backed up by a large dam about a mile or two away (the Mississippi) and several lakes.
