Coyotes

The backyard security camera caught one (of two) coyotes that came up the side of the house early one May morning. I saw them while I was making my morning coffee and they skedaddled as soon as I opened the door. I've frequently seen them in pairs in the neighborhood, and of course solo too.

Coyotes are extremely common throughout Los Angeles.
