Coyotes in the Akron Ohio area.

For the last three years, I've been observing coyotes in the Cuyahoga National Forrest and Summit County Metro Parks in Northeast Ohio.  One thing I've noticed is their strong survival instincts.  On several occasions I've observed coyotes feed on the carcass of a dead deer.  I've been fortunate enough to have been able to capture still photos, night time trail cam photos, and also several short videos.  It's truly amazing, coming from an Ohio wilderness standpoint.  Ohio coyotes are larger than the southern and western coyotes mostly because they've historically bread with wolves.  Scientist
                                                                                    found that the Ohio coyotes have wolf DNA. 
                                                                                   
Coyotes have a diet that consists of live animals and
also carrion.  From mice and rabbits to roadkill.  I

watched an individual coyote come back day after day to a deer carcass and eat everything but the hide.  I've also watched a coyote (with a radio collar) hunt for field mice at the Chuckery Area of the Metro Parks.  There's a page on the metro park website to report sightings of coyotes to help them track and study them.  http://www.summitmetroparks.org/NatureInformation/ReportASighting.aspx    During springtime, they are more noticable due to mating season and them roaming around during the daylight.  I love God's gift of nature and look forward to observing animal survival every chance I get.
