Carol..............thank you so much for getting in touch and tapping into my blog........I did communicate with Frank Vicente of http://www.wilddog.org/ this morning and suggested he email Dr Paul Curtis-Wildlife Specialist in the Dept of Natural Resources at Cornell University....................pdc1@cornell.edu

Paul is regularly a source for New York tv, radio and newspapers as it relates to coyote spottings and commentary....................

Hi Rick--

I'm a fan and regular follower of your Coyotes, Wolves, Cougars blog and often link to it. 

I edit a site that's about where people can go to see animals in the wild or in sanctuaries or wildlife rehab centers. I'm a small-time wildlife rehabber myself and sent your Queens coyote post along to Bobby Horvath. He's the big rehabber in NYC, the one the city calls when they get a coyote or hawk. 

It would be a huge deal to have that coyote in Queens--that's actually part of Long Island where there haven't been coywolves before. He sent it along to Frank Vincenti from wilddog.org, who wrote to me asking how to get in touch with the person who saw the coyote. Could you pass on the info--either to him or through me. I've cc'd him here.

Dear Carol,
I don't mean to intrude but I am a friend of Bob and Cathy Horvath and my group is called the Wild Dog Foundation and currently educate the public on coexisting with coyotes having just completed my second lecture on the animals in Central Park this past weekend.
Bob made me aware of the photo of a coyote allegedly in Queens, I've been investigating sightings. I was wondering if you have any further information on the photographer or who I can pursue or maybe help me get talks in the community.
thank you,
sincerely,
Frank Vincenti
