Understanding Coyote Behavior in Atlanta
Coyotes are highly adaptable predators that have expanded their range across urban and suburban areas, including right here in Atlanta, GA. As natural habitats shrink due to development, coyotes are increasingly spotted in neighborhoods, parks, greenbelts, and even near schools and businesses.
These intelligent canines are typically nocturnal but can be seen during the day, especially when food is scarce or pups are present. They are opportunistic feeders—preying on small animals like squirrels, cats, rodents, and even unattended small pets. They’re also known to scavenge garbage, pet food, birdseed, and compost piles.
