Narragansett Bay Coyote Study

6 days ago

NBCS update: Sherlock turns out to be quite the rambler! On the map attached you can see that much of her activity is focused on Taylor Point as shown by the pile of GPS points and the lines of travel leading to and from. She led us to one of her food sources there this week at the Taylor Point Lookout. Check out this photo shot by Mike Cappuccilli who caught her taking advantage of open trash barrels on a snowy Feb 19.

Anyone got a caption for that? ...

A NEW VIDEO from NBCS, Andes Visual, and our study partners! This film explains what our GPS tracking research has been showing about successful management of coyote populations.

Note: This film does not address habituated individual coyotes or the role of hunting and trapping.

Hope this will show what works, what doesn't work, and why. ...

Well.... Sherlock is not what we expected.
One NBCS goal this season was to capture, GPS collar, and track two coyotes from Watson and adjacent farms to see how they interact with or impact the farming operations. Max Sherman, farm manager, has read the coyotes the rules: no eating sheep.

So far, Watson (our first coyote collared) seems to be behaving herself, and has the expected territory encompassing the Windmill Hill farms. Sherlock, however, clearly did not read the experimental plan (the coyotes are not on the payroll) and has decided she is NOT going to be a Watson Farm Coyote. Instead she is all over the island. Yesterday she was on the Beavertail. And last night Meghann Kimball saw her cruise by Cumby's!

She seems to be less shy than expected around people and the Village; if you are lucky enough to see her please do not ever feed her. She is cheeky enough already and is great at catching mice. See attached Maps. ...
