Carole Novick said when she saw the coyote she opened a window to try and get a better photo before it ran away.
"I didn’t make any noise because I wanted to get a photo. I used my phone since I was afraid it would keep going into my wooded yard if I went for my camera," she said. "With so much snow still on my deck, I didn’t try to get closer…I was glad it stopped for a photo shoot."
Novick said she has seen coyotes before, but not in recent years.
"My office has a large window so in the past I have seen a red fox and of course lots of deer and too many squirrels," she said. "I also see a lot of Peregrine Falcons but only a few times have they come close enough for a photo opportunity."
She said she is trying to warn her Chamberlain Court neighbors who have children and pets.
