As reported by local Bergen County animal control agencies and New Jersey municipal bulletins in April 2026, several residential coyote sightings were documented along suburban greenbelts. Homeowners reported observing coyotes hunting in public corridors during daylight hours.
In response to these sightings, wildlife experts noted that spring nesting cycles naturally increase foraging activity. To assist residents in understanding seasonal behaviors, Vigilant Pets has compiled this news log resource. We refer pet owners and property managers directly to state conservation experts for official guidelines.
