Finally!
I lived in Brookline for ten years.
In 2005 I saw a coyote at least three times.
NO ONE believed me. Not police, not animal
control, not neighbors.
I took pictures of the tracks, tried to
stay up some nights to get video.
A girlfriend and I saw the coyote twice.
Not one person would believe me that it existed.
It was out mostly at around 2-4...I used to work late
and walk home at that time. (The fact that the
police used to stop me and ask what I was doing
is another thing entirely. I'm walking home...really?)
I hope the coyote eats a few Brookline
residents who wouldn't believe when it
probably didn't have pups...
Was it because
You reported the sightings to the city through poetry?
The town is listening...
....because they label that map "Coyote Calls" awoooOOOOOOOOOooo
There have been coyotes in Brookline/Brighton for 25 years
at least. Sick ones sometimes come out during the day but they have been around for a while now.
There's-
-the blue dot. The Clinton Road coyote.
I hope it wreaks massive havoc.
Fort Hill too

Best Tips For Keeping Coyotes Away
1 - Do not keep a roadrunner as a pet.
2 - If you see a big delivery truck marked "ACME" coming down your street, run out into the road and paint your street so that it makes a left turn into a big railroad tunnel which you also have painted on a handy wall. Watch out that you don't get run over by the inevitable train that will exit the new tunnel!
3 - If all else fails, move to a neighborhood with a sheer cliff. The coyote problem will eradicate itself, given time.

Addendum to #3
Make sure you keep handy a science book that explains how gravity works. Gravity doesn't tend to affect coyotes until they learn of its existence.
Gravity is just a theory

Mistaken identity?
A grey fox was recently spotted in my parent's back yard on Greenough Street. There used to be a family of red foxes back there too, and we're pretty sure a neighbor called in a coyote sighting after seeing one of these foxes. I wonder how often people mistake a fox for a coyote?
Maybe the coyotes can make friends...
... with the wild turkeys I've seen walking down Beacon Street. When I called animal control one time about a turkey, I was told, "Yeah, that happens." Good to know.
