We have a separate page of resources on the Eastern Coyote here.

There is a huge diversity of resources (text, online, program) for naturalists and educators - it can sometimes be overwhelming.  I’ve highlighted below a few that have really stood out to me over the years, and have become an integral part of my teaching, learning and philosophy:
