COYOTES IN KANSAS. Bulletin 393, August, 1957. H. T. Gier, Kansas Agri- 
cultural Experimental Station, Manhattan, Kansas. 97 pages, free. 
This report is a study of one of our most important predators. Many of 
our readers will be interested to know that birds constitute a very small 
portion of the food of the coyote. Over a ten-year period it was learned 
that stomach contents included 53% rabbit, 27% carrion, 7.3% chicken, 
7.7% rodents, 1.5% birds, 1.4% fruits, and 0.2% insects. Among the birds 
taken by coyotes were Quail, Pheasant, Junco, Meadowlark, Horned Lark, 
Prairie Chicken, and Redwinged Blackbird. 
This booklet covers such points as the biology of Kansas coyotes; how 
coyotes affect the economy of the state; factors that produce large or small 
coyote populations; and methods of population control. Facts about coyotes 
were obtained from many sources. The study includes a considerable num- 
ber of tables and charts, and makes worthwhile reading.
