Coyote Spotted Hemlock

Last night (Sunday) Aug 22 approx 11:30 pm, a Castle Hill resident reported seeing a coyote wandering around the property of 8 Castle Hill Dr.

The motorist and resident stopped to observe the coyote's activities.
The animal appeared very curious, and is approx 25-30 lbs.

The coyote then wandered through the back yard in the direction of Hemlock Ravine Park.

Details of the coyote sighting has been reported by the resident to the NS Dept of Natural Resources.
And this afternoon I spoke with an official at the DNR Waverley District office.

They have not yet confirmed it was a coyote. However there have been other coyote sightings this past year in the Princes Lodge/Hemlock Ravine Park area

For further information on what to do in case of a possible coyote sighting please go to:

And I also appreciate hearing of any additional possible coyote sightings.

Thanks!
