Coyote reminds us how to help all wildlife


Barb Reis took these photos of a Coyote. 

My first thought is a gentle one - this is a welcoming community to all creatures. This coyote senses Barb's kindness and is comfortable enough to hang out (briefly).

So here's a good opportunity to learn more about Coyotes in Florida. This fact sheet is full, beginning with "coyote bites are rare" and includes information about keeping children and pets safe.

Though coyotes are always around, the photos remind us to NOT feed wildlife.

Wildlife professionals and Wildewood HOAs are emphatic about the message of NOT feeding any wildlife in Florida. 

If you see anyone feeding wildlife, they may be visiting and not know why we don't feed birds or any wildlife. Invite them to learn how to support our habitat and wildlife.
