Noted: Dr. David Drake starts his mornings when the campus is just lit by a few headlights and street lamps. He’s on the look out for coyotes, the animals you hope you don’t see in your backyard. He leads the UW-Canid Project. “At least with some of our preliminary data, the coyotes are concentrating a lot of their time and activity to green spaces within the urban landscape,” said Dr. Drake.
