These elusive predators sparked both curiosity and concern among residents when they first began arriving, but in the near decade since the coyotes began migrating back to Long Island, the wild canines have kept a low profile. Current estimates suggest that there are fewer than 20 coyotes on the island, with populations primarily concentrated in western Nassau County. Frank Vincenti, director of the Wild Dog Foundation, has been tracking these coyotes closely since they first arrived and noted
