In wildlife news today, Moorpark, California, residents are reminded of increasingly frequent encounters between coyotes and people walking their dogs, and work on a turnpike has apparently driven coyotes into a Texas town, upsetting homeowners there. Residents of southern Fort Worth, Texas, are concerned about coyotes spotted in a municipal park near a preschool, while wildlife authorities in Florida are following up on a report that a calf was killed by one or more coyotes. A new report provides a look into the travels of a coyote in New York State fitted with a radio tracking collar, but conservationists are up in arms about Idaho residents shooting at coyotes. Not everyone is annoyed with coyotes, however, as a resident of upstate New York waxes rhapsodic about coyotes as neighbors. Eagles in rural Kansas are being treated at a rehab center, some after getting caught in baited wildlife traps set by farmers to catch coyotes, and an Ohio town reports that a nesting pair of bald eagles has returned yet again. Some folks who live in Hayward, California, spotted a cougar in the vicinity around the time nine goats were killed, but residents of Ashland, Oregon, asked local wildlife authorities to put new policies in place to avoid any more cougar killings. A battle royal is brewing between conservationists and ranchers over the estimated 1 million wild animals killed each year as sanctioned by the USDA, but Texans fed up with over 2 million feral hogs causing an estimated $52 million in damage to crops each year are pondering the wisdom of making it open season on the tusked interlopers. To finish today's report, two amusing stories: an arresting sight in a Florida courthouse has been a rash of mouse sightings (including a few hitchhikers ending up in women's purses), and it's a case of Hippo Heaven as a hippo in South Africa makes a settling pool at a sewage plant its new home.
