Coyotes are showing up more often at The Islands at Doral

Plus a free chamber mixer tonight and a smoothie chain's plans on 107th Avenue.

The big story

The community is near NW 107th Avenue and 78th Street. Residents told Local 10 sightings had increased from about once a month to every few days, including overnight and in daylight. One resident said a children’s park was about 100 meters away.

FWC said its law enforcement division had provided educational materials and trapper contacts. Separately, its Wildlife Conflict Mitigation Program said it had no coyote-call records from this community in the past year. The agency’s next virtual coyote presentation is Oct. 6, 7–8 p.m.
