The coyotes are here, Winger.  They have been breeding in a Montgomery County park area near Black Hills at least since the late 1980s and Fran and I saw one meandering down an old dirt road behind our Colesville home about 12 years ago.

I have to say I hate seeing articles of the sort you brought to our attention--another cause for bird hysteria among those who believe the world and all the animals in it were created solely for their convenience.

On the other hand, if it keeps the disgusting yapping dogs indoors where they belong...
