Coyotes are 'endemic' in suburbs and even cities—and more active in the fall.
Are coyotes coming around a lot more lately in Fridley? Could be. Commenters at the Fridley Patch Facebook page had a lot of sightings, stories and opinions in response to one neighbor's observation of a coyote in the 4500 block of Third Street NE: Siah St. Clair, director at the City of Fridley's Springbrook Nature Center, offered by email several reasons people might be seeing coyotes more this time of year: Coyotes are endemic to suburban and even urban areas of the Twin Cities.
