Coyotes (Canis latrans) live in Pittsburgh but you might never notice because most of them keep a low profile. In Pennsylvania coyotes are hunted and trapped all year long — and they know it — so they generally avoid humans and operate at night.
Occasionally coyotes howl in Pittsburgh, usually from the woods, but I have yet to hear it. Since they’re larger than their western cousins you probably won’t see an amazing performance like this one in Tucson.
Just a coyote howling from the rooftop of a car in Tucson, Ariz.

This coyote was sending greetings so important that he had to climb up high to say them.
I’ve heard them howl in response to emergency vehicle sirens on Banksville rd.
The coyotes in Tucson used to wake me up in the middle of the night frequently…it got a little old after a while.
