The Central Park coyote left late this evening around 7:40 and when north.  It went over the hill and I lost track of it near the ice rink.  I asked a couple with two young children, if they had seen it.  The mother said, “Yes, it went that way.” pointing north. 

The father said “Is it yours?” They had been so nice, I held my laughter until after I was out of earshot.
