There is an entire den in the woods behind the homes on Chestnut between Forest View and 151st. You can hear then at night greeting one of the Alpha's when they return from being out. This den has been there for at least 3 years.

ON LECLAIRE AVE BETWEEN 156 & 157

We cant always fear nature these animals have to live in the woods. They help to keep down the deer and rodent population we need to coexist. Just watch out for your small dogs as these animals are predatory. I walk my 2 dogs early in the morning and have seen coyotes in the woods many times when they see me they go the opposite direction. Respect nature.

Vergneway Park. I spotted one on way home from work 3:00am running across road into retention pond area.

That makes sense Darnell. I've spotted a coyote on two occasions on the North side of 151st street, just West of Ridgeland Ave @ 7am.

When i lived in palos hills. On 103rd. By police station, id see one just walking along.on side walk, i thought it was a dog lol.....there so cute tho.lol.

But i did see one run pass my car, was a baby, it was on midlothian tkp street.

I run the trails & see them all the time. They keep to themselves. I wish I could say that about dogs. I have been charged by dogs many times.

In the Arbor Park subdivision (160th and Grove). We have forest preserve around us and it is not unlikely that you will see or hear coyotes at night. Some of them are quite large and will walk down the middle of Grove Avenue from 159th to 160th.

I'm REALLY grateful to see that article isn't alarmist! Coyotes will mainly keep to themselves and are quite harmless. People just need to use common sense. (You shouldn't let your pets run free whether there is a threat of coyotes or not!)

There is one we see almost on a daily basis. 151st and Laramie..
I have 2 coonhounds and he is pretty brave, he will stare them down at least 8 foot from the fence..

All along 151st street from Oak Park to Ridgeland. I see them at all hours of the day.

I live in Scarborough Fare. One was walking down the west side of Central, just north of 147th, & started crossing the street toward me with my little dog. (my dog is 9yrs old & disabled, so I'm sure that has something to do with it coming toward me) I had to yell to get it to turn around. Everyone just needs to watch their dogs, & don't let your cats go out either!

saw one crossing central at 151st heading towards the high school. said something about finding the library to look up recipes for poodle.

I was at the light at Central and Midlo. Turnpike and one walked right in front of my car! I was scared. Thank heavens he passed and my light turned green. I was outa there!!

I hear them howling at night in the woods behind my house all the time.(151st and Laramie) I've only seen them on a handful of occasions behind the fence. They seem to be hesitant towards people. I'd rather have the coyotes than all the nasty skunks hanging around!

On 159th just East of Cicero, he/she crossed from the hospital property to just west of the rectory? there. He was HUGE, at first I thought it was a deer that had crossed the road (while I was waiting for the light at Cicero) then when I got closer, was just really surprised.

153rd and Lavergne. We are pretty sure when we left the gate open accidently one night it "marked its territory" on our garage door. That same morning I followed it north on Lavergne at about 8am

I saw a coyote on 147th between Oak Park and Ridgeland. As I was driving, i was passed by a small but very fast bird. I heard the bird's call as he passed me, it sounded like "beep beep" and then a coyote with a knife in one paw and a fork in the other went past me after the bird. The coyote looked like it had a rocket strapped to it's back. The rocket had a logo on the side that said "Acme". I lost sight of the coyote after it passed me but soon saw it again, crashed into a tree and holding a small sign that said "ouch".

FYI,,Be Cautious!

bunch of coyotes on 149th and kedzie, where i live. they come from the nature preserve across the street. they killed a possum in my backyard last week. you can hear them howling at night. one got caught in my neighbor's window well last year.

A month ago I saw 5 coyotes walking down the street at Kenton and Waverly at about 12:30 in the morning.

Yesterday, my dogs have been barking in the back of my yard. 3x's in one day this coyote came back. The neighbors yard is full of trees and bushes , surrouding their whole yard. I walk back there and he is sleeping in the same spot. 151st & Briar Ave. Im going to check this a.m. agao. Afraid for my little dog.

I was on my way home from work about 4:00 PM approx. 1 month ago & didn't
understand, at first, why was this car pulled over at 151st & Boca Rio Drive taking
pictures until I came up & saw the coyote on the north side of 151st in a little open
area. Julie Siska

I've seen one recently (within the past week), on Arroyo Dr, between 157th St. and Heron Dr. Just a single coyote. Saw one back in springtime about the same location, but about the same time, about 1-2 hours before sunset.
Also, at night I can sometimes hear them calling in from the woods over by the golf course off 159th/Arroyo.

Today, I saw a female coyote cross Cicero Ave. on 161st, running west into the Forest Preserve. They are so smart, is like she timed traffic going on both directions
