Just to give folks the heads up, coyotes have been spotted in the Dameron area. Use caution. Most of the time they are not dangerous to humans. It is suggested that you make a lot of noise if you are outside walking around. People that jog around coyotes may have a problem. Coyotes can mistake a jogger as someone "running away" from the coyote. Thus the animal may think he has the upper hand on you. They usually keep their distance. However, they are known to attack pets. I personally suspect they will attack small children, put I have never heard of it. If you have a chicken house as some folks do in Southern Maryland, you are very likely to attract them. Your chickens are considered as "desert". They love chickens!! They will find any way possible to get in to a chicken coop.
