We've been infiltrated

...or perhaps we've done the infiltrating. Where once there was a den of foxes in a municipal storm sewer drain pipe in the park near my parents' downtown house, now there is a den of coyotes.  A brazenly curious wild pack.  It seems coyotes are supplanting foxes as a top predator in the urban landscape. Even in the city we live so intertwined with the wild world.
