-
Coyotes  friend or foe? Carol Cartaino, the author of "Myths and Truths about Coyotes: What You Need to Know about America's Most Misunderstood Predator," will answer this question and many more at the Hillsboro Public Library on March 31.
As coyotes have made themselves at home in every state now except Hawaii, and just about every city and suburb in the nation as well as the countryside, questions about them have proliferated.
Cartaino will address such questions as: How did they get here? How will I know if they are around? How different are they from wolves, or foxes? How much do I need to worry about them? Are they likely to harm my cat, or my dog? My sheep, goats, cattle, or poultry? For that matter, my children or myself? Why are they getting bolder? Where do they actually live, and what do they eat? How can I be sure I have just seen a coyote? What should I do if I encounter a coyote myself? What's the difference between "Eastern" and "Western" coyotes? And what about those coydogs we hear about?
All of these questions, and more, will be answered. Come learn what we all need to learn now: how to coexist as peacefully as possible with our furry neighbors. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m.
