From the Eastchester PD:
PUBLIC SAFETY NOTIFICATION: Today our department received numerous calls of coyote sightings and aggressive behavior, in the California Ridge neighborhood. Several of the incidents involved coyotes approaching and attacking dogs either on the street or in a residential backyard. The coyotes are believed to have dens on private property as well within the Twin Lakes County Park. We have contacted and are working closely with the NYS DEC Police. Residents in the area of California Ridge and Bronxville Manor should take extra precautions when walking their dogs and should not leave pets unattended in their yards. Young children should not be left attended outside.

Coyote sightings are normal this time of year. Sightings of a coyote that is not aggressive or hostile do not need to be reported.
Coyotes that are being aggressive or attack an animal or person should be reported and in emergency call 911.
