June 20, 2007 Coyote Problems
Photo on left shows an image is the remains of a full size female peacock, one of two the coyote killed as well as 3 ducks during the month. Coyotes will often roll around and defocate on the site of the kill. (Shown in this photo).....The peacocks usually range over a large area. When the adjacent fields of corn are harvested, the peacocks who are temporarily in a pen will be released. Click here for a website with information about coyote predation.
