Report Details
The beach has returned to slope from high banks earlier this year. Interesting to see the coyote that is unafraid of humans. I have seen dog-like footprints early in the morning previously along the wrack line for miles without accompanying human footprints. Now I believe they may have been from this coyote scouting food.
