Stratford is warning citizens and visitors about a series of coyotes reports around the area.
City officials say there have been multiple spottings most recently Wednesday morning in the T.J Dolan Conservation Area.
While coyotes are typically wary and fearful of humans and avoid contact whenever possible they might be more aggressive during mating season or when protecting a den.
Dog owners are reminded to keep their dogs on a leash, keep your distance and to never approach or touch a coyote.
