The purpose of this page is for Island residents to share information
about coyote sightings, lost pets suspected to be coyote related, and
other information that will be used by Federal Agencies to control the
coyote over-population problem on Fox Island.
If you have encountered other forms of dangerous wildlife such as
bears, cougars, mountain lions, etc. please feel free to report that
here too.
Thank you,
John Ohlson, Webmaster.
Coyote sighted on Kamus Dr. near 7th Ave, on July 11, 2012
How Can You Help?
The USDA (Department of Agriculture) provides a fee-based
service to remove the problem coyotes here on the Island. This service will cost
approximately $5000 over the first year to get the current
overpopulation problem under control, and less on an annual basis to keep the coyote population under control.This opportunity
has been the topic of discussion
recently on the Fox Island News Facebook page,
and many people are willing to donate money to pay the fees.
The
best way to help contribute to the coyote removal effort, is to donate $25
or $50 towards the Fox Island Coyote Control Fund.
This money will be pooled and used to resolve hot spots with a
heavy concentration of coyotes first. |

Saturday, May 11, 2013 - Coyote sighting - Cedrona Bay 13th Ave
- Between 12th and 13th and Mowitsh Drive
We live on Cedrona bay, between 12th and 13th Avenue. About 2:00 PM Saturday 5/12/13 I saw a coyote pass across our property, across the lane and into the property at the corner of Mowitsh Drive and 13th Avenue. I followed it (in my car) and it came out of the brush and crossed 13th and into the brush again and headed toward Smugglers Cove. It took me awhile to be sure I that I really saw a coyote.. sorry for the delay.
