Coyote sighting in Beverly Woods

Beverly Woods is a great neighborhood nestled in the South Park area bordered by the Mountainbrook, Beverly Woods East, and Bellingrath neighborhoods on one side and by Park Road on the other. All of the neighborhoods, including those of Carmel Woods, Foxcroft, Myers Park, and Eastover have many wooded areas and streams that are still home to an abundant array of wildlife. Consequently, it should come as no surprise to anyone when a coyote was noticed lurking about in Beverly Woods.

What should this mean to area residents? Keep your pets inside at night! While this might be an impossible task that I recognize from personal experience with one very wild cat at our own home, it is still likely the prudent thing to do for those clawless felines we'd like to nap with on the couch.

If you have a photo of a wild animal you've seen in South Charlotte, please send me a copy. I'd like to catalog the type and location of each sighting. Charlotte is truly a wonderful place to live and whether you believe its the next NYC or the small country town that relishes the big city lifestyle, the wildlife here make Charlotte a place where you can appreciate it all.
