Saw a #Coyote while riding my #Bicycle on the way home tonight... gorgeous silhouette standing in a crosswalk in the middle of a road passing through a golf course in #Portland ...

It turned, saw me, and walked off the road, sniffing at a gate or post or something, but not too far off the road...

I biked past it... and when I turned to look back it was actually chasing after me! I outpaced it and it seemed to slow down as I approached a larger road...

Keep portland #Wild !

There was a recent #Coyote incident in what I think is the same part of town recently:

Me on a bicycle is surely much larger that a nine year old, though, so that is a bit worrying. Though something moving fast nearby might trigger a bit of a chase reaction...

I will reluctantly report to the Oregon Department of Wildlife and Fish, though I worry a bit at what the obvious response is likely to be...

Wildlife officials warn residents of coyotes after child was grabbed in Portland

Officials are warning people to be on the lookout for coyotes after a 9-year-old was grabbed by one in Portland’s Alameda neighborhood. The child escaped with minor injuries.
