Yup, sure does. I have chickens in my alley.
Wonder if the coyote found anything good out there?

Lately I have seen some ARMADILLOS crossing the nearby streets too. There is one DILLA that crosses almost nightly where Forest Park meets up with that back alley creek seperating the last row of neighborhood homes and that free standing Insurance Underwiriting building next to RUFFINO'S. Cute lil scared things.

Maybe the coyote will catch a few to help control their population.

foxes, coyotes (wow, listening to them yap and howl in a pack is great), roadrunners (no Acme evidence of coyote pursuit), possums (ugh, one came in the house) a bobcat, a copperhead, owls, buzzards, hawks, doves (we are fair and balanced with our hawks and doves), masses of geckos and skinks
But we've had precious few sightings of and would love to attract: bats, fireflies. Though we have a good trumpet vine going, we've never attracted hummingbirds. How to attract these magical creatures?
Strangely, we've never seen a 'dillo. Yet we've seen 'dillos in Overton Park.
And I guess few people ever see a horny toad. Hard to beleive that something so abundant in all backyards is now practically extinct.
Oh, we do see rats. We can't in good conscience have an outdoor cat; we've learned the hard way. But when we had an indoor/outdoor cat, he really cut down on the rats. Must we get a terrier? I love 'em but we've already got 2 dogs.

Apparently urban coyotes is not just a Western phenomenon. I remember reading or hearing a news item a couple of years ago about coyotes in Central Park... yeah, NYC! I would guess coyotes are a very adaptable, intelligent, and opportunistic species with no problem sharing their range with humans, indeed, they seem to flourish in the habitats we construct and live in. Dumpsters, Chihuahas and Yorkies, street/yard cats, and the adapted wildlife mentioned elsewhere in this thread probably provide an abundance of food for coyotes.

In May, a school in my neighborhood sent home a letter warning parents that a mountain lion had been spotted in the area.
NOTE: this area is right off 183 and Duval/Austin, so a pretty populated area that just happens to ease into some wilderness type area.

Well they are undomesticated canines, correct?

Yes. They coyotes will interbreed with domestic dogs and wolves. Here is a link to some facts about coyotes living around human development:

In the past I've seen them along Spur 280 as well.
I imagine there aren't many left on Panther Island, since most of the trees there have been removed.

I've seen coyote on the Trinity Trails when riding my bike at night. I've seen them in Trinity Park at dusk when I've been walking my dogs. The Trinity River is akin to a linear game preserve that slices through the city. I've seen coyote, fox, skunk, rabbit, possum, nutria, and also the water birds- egret, heron, etc.

There is plenty of other wildlife around the railroads in Fort Worth, especially near the feed and flour mills and grain elevators. It's not uncommon to see large pigs between the stockyards and north Saginaw anywhere grain has spilled. In spite of their size, they can move pretty quickly when startled. The two miles of rail north of Alliance Yard is teeming with skunks. The smell is overwhelming at times. I've encountered beavers at the north and south ends of Alliance Yard at Henrietta and Elizabeth creeks and in the large storm detention/retention ponds near the warehouses along 820. Some are surprisingly large. Every once in a while I'll spy a bobcat at Alliance. I don't know if they are interested in chasing me or not, but regardless those are days I'm glad to be an engineer and not on the ground switching cars!
