Janet "The Coyote Lady" Kessler is a self-taught naturalist who has spent nearly two decades conducting daily field research documenting urban coyote behavior and family life. In this presentation, Kessler will share her first-hand information, compassion and love for the animals. 

Kessler will discuss where that are, who they are and how to get along. She will also describe what to expect if you have a dog and you encounter a coyote. 

Documenting her experiences with a camera, Kessler has come to know and identify most of the coyotes and their families here in San Francisco. Kessler has collaborated with UC Davis where the DNA from scat she collected is being analyzed in a genetic lab.
