KIRO Newsradio\u2019s traffic reporter, Chris Sullivan, previously filmed a pack of coyotes<\/a> and raccoons rummaging through his backyard, but the wild animals returned for round two Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Sully put up security cameras outside of his house for \u201cobvious reasons,\u201d but after catching some unannounced visitors on camera, he decided to add a few more just for fun.<\/p>\n

Much of the footage captured the neighborhood\u2019s pets, and a dozen bunnies messing around, which he found to be amusing. But the real attraction was two separate appearances of a stray bobcat and a small glimpse of a coyote.<\/p>\n

Several coyotes spotted in Sully\u2019s backyard, again<\/p>\n

The coyote brought its friends, and the pack held a full-scale get-together in Sully\u2019s backyard, trotting around and scoping out the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never expected to catch a pack of coyotes checking out the yard, but twice?\u201d Sully stated.<\/p>\n

Sully\u2019s home is situated near some power lines, with a large green space behind the home, likely harboring some unique forms of wildlife. He mentioned that this is why his two cats tend to stay inside his house.<\/p>\n

As a resident in Snohomish County, a bit east of Mill Creek, Sully noted that the area is \u201cnot exactly a wildlife preserve,\u201d though he has now had multiple sightings of coyotes, which are seemingly growing in size per appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a good reminder that predators can be right outside our doors in the Pacific Northwest,\u201d Sully said.<\/p>\n
