Coyote Inventory - Coyote Feeding Sites - Geospatial Dataset for Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores and Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge
Dataset as delivered - Coyote Feeding Sites. To investigate coyote resting and feeding sites, we used the MoveApps platform, a cloud-based, no
code environment for analyzing animal movement by building modular workflows. Nighttime feeding clusters were island-wide on both South Core Banks (SCB) and Shackleford Banks (SB). On SCB, feeding points formed a continuous strand along the ocean beach; sound-side was sparse north of the Les and Sally Cabins but common south of that area. In summer, when visitation peaks, feeding is mostly concentrated south of Great Island Camp; in other seasons, clusters were more broadly distributed. On SB, feeding clusters occurred both on the ocean-side and sound-side beaches, creating two coastal bands that wrap around the island. Notably, we did not identify any feeding clusters on the small islands/islets Azula used to cross between Shackleford Banks ↔ Morgan Island ↔ South Core Banks.
