The population of coyotes on Harstine Island continues to fill the stillness of the deep, dark night hours with their chilling yipping and howling. HouseJ and people do not deter these wild ones. In New Jersey, the coyote population has increased by 100 each year for the last 30 years and the creatures have been sighted in every county in that state. The gray wolf-like canine began to take up residency in New York State 75 years ago. On May 22, 2006 a coyote was caught in Central Park, New York City, after a wild chase of some 20 hours. An official of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife states: "There were no document- ed coyote attacks on humans in Washington State until 2006. In April 2006, Washington Depart- ment of Fish and wildlife officers euthanized two coyotes in Bellev- ue after two young children were bitten while their parents were nearby. Coyotes had also scratched and snapped at two women and charged a man in the same area. These coyotes' unusually aggres- sive behavior likely resulted from being fed by people."
