A growing thread at Leaside Community Facebook Tuesday morning has a report and comments on a coyote seen this day on the Heath St. footbridge between Hudson Dr. and Brendan Rd. The post says in part: “Just a heads up to all the people that walk the ravine during the day with their dog(s) like me – today, 9:00am at the pedestrian bridge that crosses the ravine at Heath (so south of Moore) was a huge coyote. I had just got out of my car, a woman was walking towards me with her dog – and unbeknownst to her just 10 meters behind her she was being followed by a very large coyote. Coyotes have been spotted in the last couple of weeks throughout the ravine area – middle of the day – even when busy on weekends with people walking to the Brickworks.”
