Urban coyotes have been studied in few Canadian cities, despite the apparent increase in negative human–coyote incidents. Our study was designed to develop a baseline understanding of the magnitude, severity, seasonality, and spatial distribution of these incidents in Calgary. We used citizen reports of human–coyote incidents, collected by the City of Calgary between 2005 and 2008. Reports were categorized into five levels from sightings to conflict. Conflict was most common during Pup-Rearing season and most often reported in central, higher-density communities in close proximity to small greenspaces. Incident levels were examined for seasonal trends and spatial patterns. Most incidents were sightings (89%); only 5% were conflicts. The presence of anthropogenic food conditioning likely predisposed coyotes to conflict, and in support we briefly discuss our complementary diet analysis. Our findings fill a gap in knowledge that is critical for monitoring and managing urban coyotes and human–coyote conflicts in Calgary
