I saw a fox / coyote near my house, should I be concerned?

Most likely, no. They are normally not a threat to people. Foxes and coyotes will come out during the day. 

If you have food out for cats or other animals, then take it in. Keep your cats and small dogs inside or only let them out supervised. Foxes and coyotes could try to go after them. 

However, if the animal is showing odd behavior such as “looking drunk” or being aggressive, then you should contact the Biddeford Police Department at 207-282-5127 or the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
