Coyotes seen several times in our neighborhood recently. The picture included is in the field behind our neighborhood but we have also seen them in my back yard. They approached me and my dog about a week and a half ago. We are usually seeing them at dusk and dawn.
Several coyotes that have started to make a home in the wooded area and field behind where I live. They have been starting to coming into the neighborhood Arbor Ridge at all different times. My neighbor had an encounter with one while walking her dog. It wasn’t scared of her and became very territorial. Usually coyotes in this area move on but never have seen them so consistently in the area I live especially leaving the field and coming into our neighborhood. There a lot of elderly folks with dogs and this could become dangerous if no one intervenes.
Unit four tenant continues to feed deer and rodents by deliberately putting corn and bird seed on the floor of their porch.
To City of Bloomington, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of myself, my roommates, and our neighbors regarding a growing concern in our neighborhood. Every evening, around 4:00 p.m. and continuing through the night, we experience an influx of hundreds of crows flocking to our street and surrounding area. This results in a significant accumulation of bird droppings on our cars, as well as on nearby properties. The volume of droppings has become so excessive that it poses a risk to residents walking or entering their vehicles, as the droppings frequently land on people and properties. While I understand this may sound unusual, the situation has persisted for over two weeks, and we are becoming increasingly concerned about the potential health implications. The sheer volume of droppings is difficult to understate, and we believe it could lead to further issues if left unaddressed. The attached PDF includes proof of others cars as well as a photo of just one area of trees where the crows sit for hours. We would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on how this matter can be resolved, as we feel it is beginning to impact our quality of life. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue. We look forward to your response.
Neighbor feeding corn to deer in back yard
Deceased doe
Raccoon persist under porch. Caught in trap, uncertain as to proper relocation protocol.
Dead animal (maybe gopher or groundhog) swarming with flies and probably maggots blocking the sidewalk. Going south on Washington, it’s the left sidewalk. Approximately across from 514 and 515.
Fox won't leave our back yard. We have kids and pets and we are worried about rabies and public health issues. Fox is leaving carcasses of random critters around as well. Fox went after our small dog.
Deer would not allow me and my dog to walk north on Stull Ave where I live. Doe kept coming at us no matter what side of the street and had to go along Park Ave in order to avoid her. This is the second time this week that this has happened; first time we did see a fawn on the grassy area of 830 S Stull. I am so frustrated over not feeling safe walking around my neighborhood due to the does this time of year being too assertive and charging at me and my dog. There are too many deer in this urban area and something needs to be done to control the population since it seems like it is going unchecked.
