Welcome to the CoyoteBytes website! CoyoteBytes provides information to homeowners, land managers, agency personnel, and others to help solve coyote-human conflicts, particularly in urban and suburban areas. This site was launched in September 2007, and initially it is being pilot-tested in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties in California. The ability of its data collection functions to receive reports on coyote incidents from outside this 3-county area will be expanded to other counties in California at a future time. With CoyoteBytes, you can: Learn about urban coyotes, Report a coyote encounter or incident, View a map of coyote incidents in your area, and Find links to more information about coyotes.
