Coyote spotted on Edsel Drive today
I wish I could say it was an Urban Cowboy I saw today, but our Gilley's has been closed for years and doesn't John Travolta sleep during the day? Anyway, it was an urban coyote ...At about 12:30 p.m. today, I spotted what appeared to be a coyote walking northwest on Edsel Drive toward the Cumberland River. I followed the animal in my car until it stopped in front of Rock Harbor Marina on Basswood Avenue.
Other recent coyote sightings in the area have been discussed on the Hillwood Neighborhood Listserv (membership required to view posted messages), and the Charlotte Park Neighborhood Association has emailed much of that information to neighbors to update them on the coyotes in nearby Hillwood.
The Metro Animal Care and Control website refers readers to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's website for information on coyotes. There, readers can scroll down to see a pdf publication link for "Controlling Coyotes in Tennessee" and, what I found most helpful, a link to information on Dealing with Urban Coyotes.Most notably, the TWRA site says coyote attacks are "extremely rare," and "in recorded history only 30 coyote attacks on humans have been recorded." The site also lists more than a dozen tips for dealing with urban coyotes, and "do not feed coyotes" tops the list. Click here to see the TWRA page on Dealing with Urban Coyotes for more information.
