ROSWELL, Ga. – Coyote sightings in Roswell and other parts of metro Atlanta continue to cause a stir among some residents.
The latest sighting was Monday morning. Dan Uhlmeyer, a resident of the north Point subdivision in Roswell, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he spotted the animal in his snow-dusted backyard.
Uhlmeyer says it’s not the first coyote he’s seen in the yard, which backs up to a creek. But it was the largest.
“Apparently my next door neighbor was awakened by them last night,” Uhlmeyer said.
Coyote sightings have unnerved some in the area. However, Chris Mowry, an animal ecologist who coordinates the Atlanta Coyote Project, has said there’s no need to be overly alarmed.
