HUNTINGTON BEACH...In spring, female coyotes build dens to prepare for their young. They tend to be territorial, protecting their dens from unwanted visitors and hunting for food.

What can you do to prepare?

• Cut back vegetation that may be creating hiding places and shelters.

• Quickly harvest ripe/fallen fruit and vegetables.

• Eliminate accessible water sources.

• Pick up trash/litter and keep lids closed.

• Keep garbage inside a garage or secure building until pickup day.
