Coyotes raid the goose nests, taking as many as 20 eggs from a group of nest in a single evening. They then
dig caches, or hiding spots, nearby to store the eggs. Coyotes return later to eat the eggs, sometimes as
many as three weeks after they were cached.
As deer populations grow in the Chicago region, coyotes have been taking advantage of deer fawns as a
food source. Coyotes almost always hunt alone or in pairs, and cannot kill a healthy adult deer. Although
coyotes will feed upon the remains of deer, adult deer are usually not killed by coyotes unless injured.
Coyotes, like other wildlife, also take advantage of food that people leave out, such as messy garbage
cans, bird seed and even cat and dog food left out for pets. Coyotes will also eat feral and free‐roaming
cats. The only way to keep your cat safe from coyotes is to keep it indoors.
