Field Notes

Description:

Coyotes range in color from a dull yellow to gray. The fur on the upper part of the body, like the back and neck, is usually buff-gray. Black-tipped hairs give these parts a darker appearance than the cream-colored fur on the coyote's underparts. The face and backs of the ears are redder than the rest of the body. Notice the white on the inside of the ears, the edges of the mouth and the throat.

Habitat:

Some coyotes live in large urban areas ,while city open spaces with green, mowed grass provide coyotes with plenty of rabbits to eat, their preferred habitat is forest, woodland edge, and sometimes dry marsh or prairie if it provides enough cover.
