count.

Obolinks,
In past Christmas counts in our area (3-A), which is the Ferry Street Bridge
area bounded on four sides by freeways, we have had as many as in the
mid-20s, and all had been in the neighborhood south of Harlow Rd. and east
of Coburg Rd. Yesterday we saw zero (0). We saw whitewash on Walnut Ln, and
a resident from that street said that six toms usually roost there. We swung
by after dark and searched that tree and others nearby and did not see them.
That same resident said that recently there had been as many as 12 total,
but that in recent weeks the flock is down to six. Maybe there are urban
coyotes that can climb trees . . . .
Dan Heyerly, Eugene
