My friend John in New York City alerted me to the fact that Queens, New York has a prospecting Coyote looking for a mate...................The only locale in the entire USA devoid of coyotes is Long, Island, NY............a few short miles from Queens....................Only a matter of time until our coyotes head out on the Northern State or Southern State Parkways and colonize Long Island

Meet Lonely E. Coyote.
A reddish-colored coyote has moved into Queens, and like most city singletons, it's looking for a mate. The majestic creature was recently photographed among the gravestones of Calvary Cemetery in Woodside.
It's probably a yearling born last spring who got kicked out of his parents' home in December to make room for a new crop of cubs, said wildlife expert Paul Curtis, of Cornell University. Now it's on the hunt for a partner to start a family of its own. The mostly carnivorous creatures are no threat to humans unless they're have rabies, but keep an eye on your pet dogs, Curtis warned.

Photographer Marcelo Barrera was shocked when the animal zipped past his car. "He looked healthy enough to me, but frightened," he said.
