Canada geese are evil-tempered bastard poo machines. They will bite you as soon as look at you and they will assume that they and they alone determine who gets to walk, drive, or fly where right up until the instant that the Chevy mows them down. And they leave their little green cigar butts everywhere, because they know perfectly well that the humans aren't going to attack them- so all territory is their territory.
I lived in the suburbs for a while. Open grass and standing water, as in golf courses? THat's goose country right there.
Coyote are just... you know, coyote. I"d be more spooked if a raccoon showed up anywhere near where I live these days, because a raccoon that made it into Jersey City is probably a raccoon that's too sick to be right in the head, and in this part of the country that means rabies. But coyote? Meh. Make loud and unimpressed noises at them and they'll find an easy meal somewhere else.
