Coyote Sightings in March 2024 in Los Angeles

Coyte sighting

PLEASE NOTE: From April until about July, it is likely you will see the most coyotes because coyotes have begun to have their litters and must hunt to feed their pups. It is THE most dangerous time. Seeing one coyote is frightening, but they have begun to hunt in packs. That is terrifying.

Included are coyote sightings reported on NextDoor including dates, times, and locations when they are provided, as well as what people have told me and my own sightings. I am in the process of recording the sightings from the beginning of 2024. This takes several hours, so please bear with me.

Please read my other blog posts about coyote habits and how to protect yourself, your children, your pets, and your home against coyotes. Links are at the bottom of the page.
