Coyote spottings in Alhambra
On Sunday evening @hello_katty sent out a tweet alert:
"Let folks in the Midwick Tract know to watch their small pets. There's a coyote roaming. Saw it on Cabrillo tonight."
We've heard via Facebook about a lot of other spottings in the area. Nancy Ruiz wrote that on Wednesady night near Grandview Market: "I saw a coyote and it saw me. The coyote wasn't scared, but I sure was."
Earl Jones wrote that he saw one last on Electric Avenue at 3am (Linda Moody's neighbor saw one there as well). Daniel Dupill worte that he once knew of a den on the hillside between Hampden Terrace and Palentine. "We could hear them howl in concert with fire and police sirens regularly - and see them often on Hampden Terrace." And "Auntie Apple" said she spotten one in front of Ramona Convent." Fernando Morales said he saw a baby one running toward another place of worship, St Therese.
John Garica said he spots them on Huntington Drive, Mauricio Perez said Woodward and Fifth was the spot, and Kelly Yamagashi said for her it was North Olive and Pine. "A pack of three were chilling on my lawn," she writes.
Have you spotted a coyote? Please post the address/ intersection below or by e-mailing editor@alhambrasource.org and we will put together a coyote spotting map. And if you have any pictures, please share those as well.

Post a commentThere are 2 that live in the school on Marengo near Ramona Road and Marguerita. The big one killed my neighbors cat right in front of us. We live in the 1800 block of south Marengo. It was horrible. The coyote was very big and looked healthy. Other neighbors in the Ramona Estates condos say they have seen them in their patios too. this is very frightening.
I added the report to the coyote map. We'll be looking more into this issue -- let us know if you have any other responses from an agency/ have any other spottings.
We saw three coyotes at the intersection of South Charnwood Ave. and Viscount. I called Alhambra Police who then referred me to another agency who said they cannot trap and/or contain the animal. They in turn sent me to Fish and Game and they could not do anything and told me to call Alhambra Police back!
Thanks for the report -- I added it to the coyote map.
I saw one crossing Main St. at Curtis last Thursday Jan 26th morning at 7:00
I saw it on Adam st by the Almansor park. I almost mistaken it for a dog! It ran toward New ave after my dog almost chased it.
coyote sighting at commenwealth and 4th right be alhambra h.s. - tuesday morning at approx 7am. what's concerning about this is that it was very bright out already and it was roaming the streets (they normally come out at night). i contacted alhambra p.d. as it was heading towards the school's campus. everyone please be careful.
I've run into skunks and peacocks before in NW Alhambra, but never coyotes. N. Olive and Pine is really close to where I am. At any rate, it never stopped the neighbors cats (from across the street) from pooping on my front lawn.
A coyote killed my mom's cat 2 weeks ago. She lives near the Ralph's on Huntington Dr.
