Ginger,
Thanks for the interesting links. I had no idea the coyote was so adaptable that they will even eat watermelons. We'll occasionally spot foxes here in the suburban Mid-Atlantic, but have not yet seen any coyotes locally. We have seen them in rural western PA. If they do show up locally, there's a yappy white furball a few houses away from mine that I would be happy to see transformed into a light lunch.
if the do show up, those foxes will disappear, too.... grey fox generally displace red fox, and coyotes displace either... their niches are too closely related for co-habitation...
