I spotted one in Mt. Pleasant a few years ago. Hooray for adaptable natural predators! I wish we had a nice coyote family in my neighborhood, maybe do something about these rats.

Guess he finished up in RCP and is looking for some new prey!

They’ve been seen in Petworth too, although it was a while back.

yeah, Rock Creek Park makes a nice little highway for the creatures, connecting the heart of the city to the relatively open spaces of upper Montgomery County.

I live in McLean Gardens, a block away from this sighting. Several neighbors have spotted mountain lions recently…wondering if this was a mis-identified mountain lion, or whether we’ve also got coyotes. In any case, maybe these beasts will scare away the Sidwell kids & parents that speed super fast up and down 39th & Rodman. One can hope!

I saw a coyote with a huge black spot on its left hind quarters walking towards the Quebec House Apartments on Quebec Street on August 3, 2012. I was sitting on one of he benches outside the Quebec House, the wrought iron bench down by the opening of the Park. It was about 9:00pm He/she was sniffing for food. I was fearful but stood still until it crossed the street up a littler further from where I sat. As soon as I saw it I froze and hoped it would not pick up my scent. The spot on its hnd quarters was troubling I saw it clearly in the street lamp light. As soon as it crossed the street up farther from me, I bolted to the other side of the street and ran until I could cross over tothe front door of the Quebec House 2801 entrance. Be on guard at night.
