MANATEE COUNTY - A Bradenton subdivision has some unusual visitors. Lately, coyotes have been running around the Hawthorne Park subdivision.
Coyotes aren't a rare animal to find in Florida...around rural locations. But wildlife experts say it is rare to find coyotes in a populated area like west Bradenton.
Coyotes are primarily nocturnal, but many of the encounters by residence in Hawthorne Park saw them in them during the day.
A wily coyote tried to sneak inside an appliance store Monday by bolting through the exit doors as a customer was walking out, officials said.
Residents in Alamo Heights have reported multiple coyote sightings in recent weeks and have some concern for the safety of their children and pets.
Montgomery Police are warning residents about an increase in coyote sightings.
FORT PIERCE: Bob Wallace doesn't like the idea of killing birds, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Wallace and others who live in the historic Ft. Pierce neighborhood of Oakland Park, Florida say vultures are becoming a big problem.
They defecate and vomit all over his backyard, his cars and his house, leaving white splotches and a rancid stench.
Ken Gioeli, a naturalist with the St. Lucie County cooperative extension, says vultures typically regurgitate when they feel threatened.
He says they'll also vomit on their feet to keep warm in cold weather.
All of this makes for a tense relationship with the increasingly frustrated neighbors.
They've tried scaring the birds with firecrackers and noise makers, but nothing seems to last very long.
FORT PIERCE — Lara Amyx routinely goes into her backyard just before dusk and bangs on pots and pans, while her husband, Dan, blows a trumpet.
They're not aspiring to become musicians. They're trying to stir up enough noise to scare away hundreds of unwelcome black vultures that roost in two Banyan trees on neighboring property behind their two-story home in the historic Oakland Park neighborhood off Delaware Avenue.
Amyx and her husband said they can't enjoy breakfast on their porch deck or have backyard parties because the birds defecate and vomit all over their property, causing an unbearable stench; and create an obnoxious noise when they frequently flap their wings in the trees.

People have to remember - I did not make up the "predictions" in the first place - and I did not make up the postings either - there is NOTHING that I made up out of my head on any of these threads.
I have only been relaying information - that to me is credible. Be it right or wrong.

I am going to call you out on your prediction threads, three recent alarmist headines all about ther same thing.
People commend you for "speaking out" and "informing" us. You can't fool everyone all the time and I am going to hold you to your predictions.
You WILL apologize as your predictions come to pass as you said you would.
Your scaring people who don't know better and causing stress for your own benefit.

Reporting from Southern California...
I saw a strange "light" in the sky last night. It wasn't really a light, mostly white, almost like a cloud, yet my bf and I though we saw colors in it, like a rainbow. It was just one line across the sky. No other clouds in the sky at this point in the night.
