"content": "\u003cp>In Los Angeles, coyotes walk the streets of densely-populated neighborhoods. You might wonder, what do these urban canines eat to survive? Biologists have been wondering the same thing. So they’ve recruited volunteers to help them gather coyote droppings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe you’ve seen these wily predators skulking the streets at dusk and dawn. In some parts of the country, including in L.A., the drought has brought them out of the mountains and canyons and onto our blocks in search of food and water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some think of coyotes as a menace to society. They lie in wait until we take our eyes off our cats and small dogs; then they strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are fans of these wily predators and advocate for their survival. Like Melanie Symonds, who keeps chickens in her backyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chickens are delicious to coyotes and I’ve lost more than I’d like to admit to those that have come through the yard,” Symonds says. “They’ve earned their trickster name, as far as I can say from my own experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/295959165″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Symonds closes up her chicken coop at night and keeps a close watch on the flock. Still, when the occasional hen is lost to a predator, she doesn’t hold it against them. In fact, Symonds believes we should be grateful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t like to have certain vermin around, rats and mice, and [coyotes] actually do a tremendous job to keep the numbers of rodents in check,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Symonds has spent 18 years as docent at Pasadena’s Eaton Canyon Nature Center. When the National Park Service started recruiting people like her for a study on the diet of coyotes, she jumped at the chance to start collecting coyote droppings — also known as coyote scat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 30 volunteers gather at the \u003ca href=\"http://debspark.audubon.org/programs/la-urban-coyote-project\">Audubon Center in Debs Park\u003c/a>. They’re huddled around a table, looking at bowls of dried poop: bobcat and coyote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binta Wold helps run the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/samo/learn/news/new-study-la-urban-coyotes.htm\">Urban Coyote Project\u003c/a> for the National Park Service. She says one way to tell the different kinds of scat apart is by the shape. Bobcat poop, for example, is shaped like a ball-and-socket joint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Often coyote scat has a characteristic twisted appearance. They’re a little bit smaller than dog scat usually,” Wold said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contents can also help determine the animal who left the scat behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11202259\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Binta Wold, a National Park Service intern working on the Urban Coyote Project, helps volunteers distinguish coyote scat from bobcat scat.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11202259\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Scatology-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Binta Wold, a National Park Service intern working on the Urban Coyote Project, helps volunteers distinguish coyote scat from bobcat scat. \u003ccite>(Avishay Artsy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you have a scat that you think is coyote, it’ll probably have bones or fur or seeds. They’re omnivores so they eat a lot of fruits and berries and things like that. And then occasionally also especially in urban environments there’ll be anthropogenic materials, so things like paper towels, food wrappers, barbecue chicken, we saw once, so a great diversity of different foods,” Wold says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin Brown, a National Park Service ecologist, says he’s seen people actively feeding wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen several different occasions where they’re putting either food from their lunch out in an area and you can see the coyotes keep coming back,” Brown says. “You see possums, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, all eating from these piles. But then also people are putting plates of dog food out as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actively feeding wildlife is illegal, and animal control is trying to crack down on it. Wold is concerned this behavior could lead to coyotes that aren’t shy about approaching people in the hopes of finding food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If people do get bitten by coyotes, it’s often because those coyotes had been fed before,” says Wold. “If you want to help wild animals, it’s a good idea to just respect them from a distance, and definitely don’t feed them or leave anything out in your yard that could be a food source for wild animals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope of the Park Service study is to inform residents and elected officials about coyote behavior — dietary and otherwise — when it comes time to make decisions about how to keep them out of urban areas.

The mitred conures originated from a large territory ranging from Peru through Bolivia down to northern Argentina.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Did They Get Here?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>They were brought here to be sold as pets in the exotic pet trade. The U.S. was the largest importer of birds in the world before the government banned the trade of wild exotic birds in 1992.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Did They Get Out?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The founders of the wild flock of conures either escaped or were released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a number of theories. A commonly held belief is that the parrots were released by a woman who was having a psychotic break and subsequently burned down the pet store where they were housed. This is partially true. A pet store did burn down in Pasadena, but the woman was an employee of sound mind simply trying to save the birds. The parrots in San Francisco most likely weren’t released from the fire in Pasadena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More likely, the San Francisco conures escaped or were purposely released by pet owners.

At one point, a mitred conure joined the flock and bred with the cherry heads. Now the flock is dotted with hybrids. There are a couple ways to differentiate the breeds. Cherry heads have slightly smaller bodies and a red helmet pattern on their heads, whereas mitred conures have a more blotchy pattern of red and feet that are a slightly darker hue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11185798\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11185798 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-800x1204.jpg\" alt=\"A wild conure in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1204\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-800x1204.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-160x241.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-1020x1535.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-1180x1776.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-960x1445.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-240x361.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-375x564.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o-520x782.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/3630710620_dd9e0dd0f2_o.jpg 1563w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A wild conure in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Ingrid Taylar/flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Where Are They From?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The cherry-headed conures come from a small territory spanning Ecuador and Peru.

We all feel it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We wanted to provide you — and let’s be honest, ourselves — some relief from #Election2016 fatigue so we decided to pay a visit to our local SPCA to shine a spotlight on some of our four-legged friends up for adoption. With such great “talent,” we were able to turn the photos into postcards for you to share around (we’re posting many to our social accounts, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KQEDnews/\">Facebook\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KQEDnews\">Twitter\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kqednews/\">Instagram\u003c/a>) or simply to express your feelings about the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choose your forever friends postcard and share with your loved ones, friends and co-workers. Most importantly, consider giving a furry friend a furever home. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/\">SFSPCA\u003c/a> has many wonderful pets-to-be up for adoption (and interestingly, within a day of our photo shoot a lot of these gals and fellas had found families), as do many other shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for the election … hold on everyone, it’s almost over!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11163589\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11163589\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Animals Offer Election Relief\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeeves has recently found his family, but many other animals are awaiting adoption.

With such great “talent,” we were able to turn the photos into postcards for you to share around (we’re posting many to our social accounts, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KQEDnews/\">Facebook\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KQEDnews\">Twitter\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kqednews/\">Instagram\u003c/a>) or simply to express your feelings about the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choose your forever friends postcard and share with your loved ones, friends and co-workers. Most importantly, consider giving a furry friend a furever home. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/\">SFSPCA\u003c/a> has many wonderful pets-to-be up for adoption (and interestingly, within a day of our photo shoot a lot of these gals and fellas had found families), as do many other shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for the election … hold on everyone, it’s almost over!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11163589\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11163589\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Animals Offer Election Relief\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeeves has recently found his family, but many other animals are awaiting adoption.

In the Chesapeake Bay, researchers found that removing just over 34,000 derelict pots allowed the fishery to harvest an additional 13,500 metric tons of crab worth $21.3 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other financial incentives to getting abandoned gear out of the water.
