Replies(2) A coyote is seen Feb. 11 in a Fairfield backyard. (Frank Byrne) FAIRFIELD, CT — A Fairfield resident recently captured a coyote on video out for a morning stroll through a backyard. In the recording, the animal howls a few times before walking briskly across the yard, which is near a wooded area. Fairfield resident Doreen Battimelli shared an image from the video, taken Feb. 11 near Towne House and Tanglewood roads, in a neighbor post on Patch, and then emailed Patch the footage. "February and March are notorious for issues with coyote as I believe it is their mating season," Battimelli said in the post. "Please protect your pets."
