We have coyotes all over the place here. We see them in the day time and night time. I get up about 6am and go out to get the paper and more often than not will see a couple of coyotes walking down the middle of the street.
Whitney our rescue dog is a golden retriever / husky / coyote mix that was running wild on the Navajo Indian reservation in New Mexico before she was caught and brought back to Arizona for adoption. She has the traits of all three, friendliness of the golden, the digging abilities of the husky and the hunting skills of the coyote. At the end of our street it's all open land for miles we go out there and I take her off the leash and she goes into her hunting mode. Nothing is safe from lizards to moles to rabbits if she catches a lizard the retriever in her kicks in and she will bring it back to me, it's hilarious with the lizard tail sticking out of her mouth wiggling back and forth, drops it by my feet and waits for her "good dog" then goes to find another one. Never hurts them they just wonder off again.
If we see coyotes out there she will hang out with me and watch them until their out of site, then back to her hunting mode. Really fun to watch.

Saw this fella on walk in the woods by my house last fall. There was another one behind me. I walked away slowly & they began to bark/yip. I read that is their warning that they are present.
I believe I walked up on a sleeping coyote a couple weeks ago in this same area. It was about 25' away & took off so fast all I saw was the tip of its tail out of the corner of my eye.

Our neighbor reported a coyote in the neighborhood on the NextDoor website for our part of town. I told my son to make sure the cat was in at night because I didn't want to find a dead coyote in the yard one morning. Our cat can be mean. I always say if cats had opposable thumbs, they could rule the world! Not many creatures that small can be on the ground and in one jump, be on top of a 6' tall fence.
 
Coyotes are everywhere, it's estimated that there are over 2000 living in the city of Chicago.
We hear them howling in the spring all around us. Whitney gets all agitated and goes in the backyard and howls back at them, although her howls have a husky accent but its good enough to quiet the coyotes and if she howls a second time she gets a response.
Coyotes are probably thinking good grief there is a frankenyote out there somewhere.
 
I used to work in a big city, a place that is fully developed with very little open land. Every so often I would see a coyote crossing the street in the early morning. I live in a more rural area and see them all the time. Our security cam system caught a video of my neighbor in her car chasing a coyote who had a cat in his jaws. He got spooked and dropped the cat in our front yard...that cat took off like a rocket, none the worse for wear! The neighbor called off the chase and the coyote came back looking for his prey a short while later.
