Coyote Caught on Camera in El Cerrito – Visits Site of Shadi Display
Reader Kevin Proctor sent us these iPhone photos of what looks exactly like a coyote perched on a rock Thursday next to Moeser Lane where the annual Shadi Holiday Display goes up every December. He said it's a coyote, and it looks like one to us.
Thanks to reader Kevin Proctor for these photos taken Thursday with his iPhone of what appears to be a coyote perched alertly on a rock in the open space next to Moeser Lane in El Cerrito.
He took them about 7:45 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of Moeser and Sea View Drive in the open space where the annual Shadi Holiday Display is set out each December.
Asked by a Patch editor via email what convinced him that it was a coyote, Proctor replied, "I'm positive this is one based on its gait, posture, shape of its ears, snout and tail (black mark on tail too)."
