Coyotes on Property

Just a note to keep eyes open , especially those of us who walk our dogs, A few residents and a security officer have seen coyotes on the property here at Anasazi, This is not uncommon this time of year here, they wander from the golf course.

 Coyote attacks on people are very rare. More people are killed by errant golf balls and flying champagne corks each year than are bitten by coyotes.  Source: http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/coyotes/tips/coyotes_people.html
