Yes the coyote has found its way into Florida as well so I’m sure you’re not seeing things. It may not be as common place as it is here in North Carolina but a coyote is a master at adapting and it will find Florida to it’s liking I’m sure. I also know Tom and if he has heard and/ or seen them you can be certain they are there.
Here are a couple of articles about the coyote in Florida and thanks for stopping by my blog.
