Odd that with native species like coyotes, turkeys nest like that, but I suppose they rely upon things like camouflage the same as the ground nesting birds in the UK do to protect them against foxes. Our ground nesting birds tend to also have young that start to move around almost as soon as they hatch.

Coyotes are a relatively recent inhabitant of this area. The first known record of coyote occurrence in New Jersey was recorded near Lambertville, Hunterdon County in 1939.

hunted out of the state and then reoccupying it? iirc there were quite a few mid size critters in NJ that could feed coyote the muskrat things would make a splendid roadkill dinner for coyote, a bit fragrant for my palette coyote is similar to our foxes in habits although a bit bigger, human "waste"might be a reason for there being more of them

Originally there were wolves, which were extirpated. Coyotes eventually drifted in from the west to occupy the empty niche.
