In a word, yes. While they primarily eat small mammals such as prairie dogs, cottontail rabbits, voles, ground squirrels, birds, mice, snakes, deer, lizards, javelinas, and livestock such as cows, sheep and goats, as well as large insects and other large invertebrates, they do shift their hunting techniques in accordance with their prey.
For example, if a human's remains were found as carrion, the coyote would more than likely partake. They've been known to follow human joggers and take small dogs, even while 'on leash'. They will also jump short fences to prey upon domestic cats and smaller dogs. They will commonly work in teams (Gung Ho!) to hunt larger prey, attacking from the rear and flanks. Some of their successful, persistent hunts will last as long as 20 hours or so. Their unsuccessful hunts may last eight hours before they give up.
In the 30 years leading up to March of 2006, at least 160 attacks happened in the US. While only 41 attacks happened between 1988 and 1997 (almost ten years), there were 48 attacks verified between 1998 and 2003 (about five years). It should be well-noted that the majority of these occurrences happened in Southern California, close to the suburban areas that border the wilderness.
In 1981 in Glendale, California, a coyote attacked toddler Kelly Keen, who was rescued by her father, but died in surgery due to blood loss and a broken neck.
In October 2009, Taylor Mitchell, a 19-year-old folk singer on tour, died from injuries sustained in an attack by a pair of coyotes while hiking in the Skyline Trail of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia, Canada. Recent studies have shown, however, that the large northeastern coyotes responsible for this particular attack may have in fact been coyote-wolf hybrids (coy-wolves), due to the absorption of wolves when coyotes moved into eastern North America.
