On the other hand, the photo showing the passengers in the Hercules transport plane could well have been taken in 1962. They are normally not a problem but have, unfortunately, found my attic a nice winter home. When the corn has not yet been harvested, we hear raccoons at night tearing ripe cobs off the stalks. This provides an easy meal for the coyotes, which celebrate their kill by howling and yelping. I would miss this chorus if someone, in fear of these incredible animals, were to eliminate them.
Coyotes are a natural pest control, feasting on mice, squirrels and other overabundant animals.
Thank you for spreading the message that coyotes are an important part of our community. Sharon Campbell, Richmond Hill, Ont.
