Raccoons are primarily nocturnal, although in some rare circumstances they can be seen during the day. Adult raccoons range in size from approximately two to three feet long and weigh approximately 10 to 20 pounds. They are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal foods, insects, and pretty much anything else they can find.

The coyote (Canis latrans) is becoming a common occurrence on Florida’s landscape. Traditionally associated with the American West, the coyote has become an established species in the eastern U.S., including Florida (Hill et al. 1987). Range expansion can be attributed to the coyote’s nonspecific needs in habitat and food; large litter size and short generation time; decreased competition across its range from other predators–the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and red wolf, (Canis rufus) , grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) and puma (Felis concolor) ; and the coyote’s ability to adapt to and benefit from human activities (Moore & Parker 1992, USFWS 1978, Gier 1975) .

The report cited Extinct Birds, published in 1905 by zoologist Walter Rothschild, who stated, "man and his satellites, cats, rats, dogs, and pigs are the worst and in fact the only important agents of destruction of the native avifaunas wherever they go."[11] Rothschild gave several examples of cats causing the extermination of some bird species on islands.

Pale Male (hatched 1990) is a well known New York City Red-tailed Hawk who has made his home since the early 1990s near Central Park. Birdwatcher and author Marie Winn gave him his name because of the unusually light coloring of his head. He is one of the first Red-tailed Hawks known to have nested on a building rather than in a tree and is famous for establishing a dynasty of urban-dwelling Red-tailed Hawks. Each spring birders set up telescopes at the Model Boat Pond to observe his nest and chicks at 927 Fifth Avenue.

===============================================
All the above relates to the previous Post about Wolves. A number of animals and birds have co-evolved with human beings. If you live in a City – I will cite Miami and Toronto – you’ve likely had or know friends and family who have had direct encounters with raccoons, coyotes and pigeons but none with wolves or eagles. In general wolves and eagles are not a co-evolution but a competitor. As such – until the recent green revolution - we humans have exterminated wolves and eagles – Ben Franklin thought the turkey not the eagle should be the national bird. On balance, raccoons, coyotes, pigs and cats do better in our presence than our absence.
