Coyote Activity in Irvine
|
|
From now through the end of summer, you may see more coyotes during the daylight hours as coyote babies begin to make their introduction into the world. While activity tends to take place around dusk and dawn, you could see them out during the day as well.
The Irvine Police Department (IPD) Animal Services team tracks coyote sightings to help understand their patterns and responds as necessary.
If you want to report a coyote sighting or coyote activity, you can do so by calling IPD at 949-724-7092, or emailing coyotesighting@cityofirvine.org. You can also use the Access Irvine app to report a sighting by clicking "How can We Help."
