We have been keeping track of how Eastern Coyotes are going about making a living in NYC and this article over the weekend in the NY Times reiterates that each of three Bronx parks is now home to a coyote family, including a pair that bred for the first time last year in Ferry Point Park in the South Bronx............ There is also a solitary coyote that is permanently living in Railroad Park in Jamaica, Queens...............Chris Nagy, the director of research and land management at the Mianus River Gorge in Bedford, N.Y., who founded the Gotham coyote project in 2011 with Mark Weckel, a conservation biologist who is the manager of the Science Research Mentoring Program at the American Museum of Natural History state: . “We see pairs goofing off and rolling around and playing......going about their natural ways, not aware of the camera--a good thing"..................Good to see a "co-existence" theme being pushed by NYC Parks Dept. who will be giving a talk entitled “Living With Urban Coyotes,” scheduled for March 21 at the Van Cortlandt Nature Center
