Last night about 9 PM I saw a coyote trotting down the sidewalk on Claremont Avenue in Lincoln Square. He saw me, crossed into the street, and headed south, taking a right onto Sunnyside. He paused in front of Queen of Angels and then turned back into Wells Park. At first I thought he was a lost dog. He was about the size of an average adult border collie. However, after getting several good looks at him I was certain he was a coyote. My suspicions were confirmed later after I found a 2012 post on the Lincoln Square Patch about a coyote sighting in Roscoe Village. He is actually a beautiful animal. He was aware of me but wasn't at all interested in interacting or aggressive. He seemed a little anxious, like he was lost or looking for something. Maybe he was hunting cats and dogs? Sorry but I didn't get a photo or video! I didn't take the attached photo but he looked almost exactly like this. Anyone have any ideas for a name? I was thinking Pawar Jr.
