There were coyotes that hunted up and down the banks of the large creek that ran behind my house. They would often chase prey into the neighborhood, but they would never pursue, they would figure out ways to go around. They also would hunt in packs during the winter and even then, they never came into neighborhoods or yards.

A lot of predators are nocturnal (foxes, owls)
