Raya and the Last Dragon on Dowdy Park at 6 pm on November 19, 2021

Coyotes are more active in the fall when pups leave their dens.

Hearing or Seeing More Coyotes Lately?

Expect to see and hear more coyotes over the coming weeks as young coyotes leave their parents’ territory to establish a home of their own. They may wander long distances – upward of 300 miles – before settling down somewhere that’s not already occupied by an established coyote pair. As young coyotes roam, biologists at the NC Wildlife Resources Commission experience an increase in reported sightings.

But, even after all of these years sitting in our parking lot, the mystery shipwreck remains unidentified. Check out our new video on the wreck and how researchers are working to determine the identity of the ship.
