Mamaroneck officials respond to local coyote sightings
No, they didn’t mention asking the Road Runner for help. 
There’s been a lot of chatter in the community after several parents spotted coyotes running around the Rye Neck section of Mamaroneck. In fact, a coyote ran onto Rye Neck’s high school track during a sports practice last week.
Anywho, Mamaroneck’s village manager Richard Slingerland sent me an email over the weekend about what local officials are doing about it. He echoed what Rye city officials are saying about coyotes — they’re staying alert but nothing else for now.
“At this time, it is not a priority for the Village of Mamaroneck to seek out and call a wildlife trapper for sightings,” Slingerland said. “However, if sightings or incidents become frequent, or if the animals become more confident or aggressive, we will revisit that policy.”
In the meantime, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has some tips on what to do in case coyotes visit your home.
