We used to have Coyotes at our back fence in urban Milton when the farm field across Derry Rd. existed.
It has since been replaced by a housing development. We can still hear them late at night well South of us.
Our 2 year old "BC" in that sort of situation would sense them with her nose before I saw them and give me the look "lets go back to the house
please".
She has an uncanny sense of smell and acts more like a blood hound at times, Is than normal for a Herding dog?
