A Coyote Cure

From a distance, this coyote, complete with an humped back, fangs and fluffy tail, looks like a real predator.

Workers at the installed the beast about a month ago, after flocks of Canada geese were becoming a nuisance. The birds had taken to hanging out on the lush, green grass above a large capped clear well.

The coyote took care of that. As long as the workers move him to new positions every few days, the birds — not known for their brainpower — think he's real.
