Let’s talk about seeing a coyote in the daytime.
It’s COMPLETELY NORMAL
Here’s are a couple reasons to see a coyote in the daytime.
• Juvenile Dispersal (The Main Reason): Between September and November, young coyotes born in the spring leave their parents to find their own territory. Because these juveniles are navigating unfamiliar suburban or urban corridors, they travel more during the day and are much more visible.
• Fewer Hiding Places: In November, trees and bushes lose their leaves. Coyotes that were moving invisibly through the brush in the summer are suddenly completely exposed when crossing streets, yards, or fields.
• Cold Weather Hunting: As temperatures drop, small rodents and prey alter their schedules, and food becomes scarcer. Coyotes will easily adapt by hunting during daylight hours to conserve energy.
Now this guy that was seen on Miller st looks like he also has Sarcoptic mange, which has been running rampant in the fox population.
Sarcoptic mange is a debilitating skin condition caused by burrowing mites. An affected coyote spends most of its time scratching, leaving it exhausted, dehydrated, undernourished, and structurally too weak to pick a fight with a large animal. It’s also highly contagious to domestic dogs.

Use common sense; keep your cats inside, stay with your dog when you let him in your yard.
Practice "Hazing": If a coyote wanders into your yard during the day and seems comfortable around humans, do not let it get cozy. Stand tall, wave your arms, and make loud noises (yell, bang pots, or use a whistle) to reinforce their natural fear of humans.
