Took this shot this summer  http://juliansbirdwatchingphotos.fotopi ... 52998.html (http://juliansbirdwatchingphotos.fotopic.net/p47652998.html)

I had standoff of sorts with a mangy looking coyote a few years back.  There were some living in the ravine at the south end of Rennie Park I believe.  One must have made its way over to my street (near South Kingsway).  As I was pushing the stroller with my son inside it appeared.  As I shielded my son (superhero style) we sort of watched each other from about 15 metres away for a few seconds.  It then moved on.

Very nice. I've yet to see a coyote in Toronto. I've seen foxes every now and then - in Hog's Hollow, near Sherwood Park, near the Humber.

A few years ago, I saw 2 coyotes crossing Bloor St. around Prince Edward at around 3 a.m.

The funny thing is, I've seen many coyotes in urban areas (Mississauga) but none at my house which is in Ayton, ON, in the bush and amongst farms.

I was at the track (woodbine) late last year and a coyote ran across the track, literally over the finish line .. unbelievable! Several of the regulars in the smoking section have witnessed coyotes on the track.   There are also fox too.

I saw a coyote in Sam Smith park last year.
There are foxes living there now and there have been sightings often.
