Coyotes and even skunks are not an issue in Carmel Valley bordering canyons in C.C. Highland areas.
You do get some wabbits, squirrels, and geckos though (my last gecko encounter resulted in an fatality when it decided to sleep under my car’s left rear tire. The rest is just, oh, flattened history…)
The wabbit furballs just love to feast on some nice flowers. So I gave up planting stuff that isn’t desert.
Yes, I tried garlic power/pepper powder. But they usually wash off with watering.
I need that bird that is swooping around Oxford’s home…
