To the Editor:

I live in Beach Haven and have two little white Maltese dogs. Every year, I look forward to the fall season. Temperatures drop, the Island becomes quiet again and I can finally walk on the beach with the hope of not seeing a soul. Little did I know, when the crowds leave, our newest neighbors, the coyotes, will start to emerge from hiding!

Last week, I saw one in my driveway about 5 feet away from my screen door and I know of multiple neighbors who have had similar experiences.
