Coyote sightings in the area have been a big topic of discussion in my neighborhood. Compared to other predators (i.e., mountain lions) known in these parts I do not find coyotes to be that threatening.
Coyote Sighting
Just as dawn was breaking on 10 February 2018 I spotted this coyote searching for some small critters.

As I observed the coyote it still seemed to be favoring one paw.

Unlike many of my neighbors I found it to be a joy to watch the coyote as it searched for small critters.
For the next photos I had the f-stop too high for these morning shots.

As I mentioned previously there have been times when Mountain Lions have been spotted in the area. I know to be aware of my surroundings, I rather deal with Coyotes than Mountain Lions. As much as some of my neighbors freak out about seeing a coyote, I can just imagine their hysteria if a mountain lion was seen in the area.
With mountain lion population estimates up, hunting season could return to Nebraska’s Pine Ridge

Coyote Sightings in Texas
But my neighborhood is not the only neighborhood that has neighbors concerned about coyote sightings. I found this post from the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office in Texas about sightings of coyotes near neighborhoods.
You have to appreciate the sheriff's sense of humor.
