PHOTO: Beautiful Hudson Valley Wildlife Caught on Camera

One Hudson Valley resident was able to capture a beautiful image of wildlife in the area.

The Hudson Valley is a beautiful area and there's a ton of wildlife that can be found around here at anytime. We live in such a camera driven world and most people today have a Ring camera or some kind of security camera at their house. This means that they are able to get some awesome images of the wildlife around here and share them with everyone else.

I was looking on Facebook the other night and I noticed that one Hudson Valley resident was able to get a pretty breathtaking picture of some wildlife.

What animal picture was recently captured in the Hudson Valley?

This picture of a coyote (pictured above) was recently taken in Milton area of the Hudson Valley. It's a great picture and I don't think a lot of people really know a lot about coyotes. think it's time to talk about all of the important and good reasons why coyotes are valuable around here.

Why are coyotes beneficial to the environment?

Coyotes get a bum rap, a lot of people seem to be afraid of them and yes...I would not want to run into an aggressive one, but I can respect that they have a place and purpose on this earth just like the rest of us. Let's break it down a bit:

• Coyotes help control disease transmission
• Coyotes help control the rodent population
• Coyotes help prevent diseases spread by rodents

They do offer a lot of good things to the world and have a purpose.

Do you need to cautious of coyotes in the Hudson Valley?

Like all wildlife...yes (i wouldn't go inviting them into my yard for fun), It never hurts to go over things again...there are some important safety tips with coyotes and some things that you should be very mindful of, like:

• Do not feed coyotes
• Do not let your pets loose around them
• Do not run from a coyote
• Report aggressive coyotes

So coyotes are beneficial, but you do want to be extra careful around them. Here's to hoping we get more awesome pictures of Hudson Valley wildlife in the future. Also, this should really go without saying...please don't harm any animals in the area and just let everyone live in peace.
