Cost of immigration to islands also affects Raccoon distribution
Some notes on oddities. Fisherman’s Island has intensive raccoon-removal efforts and many of the nesting habitats are distant from the woody habitat. Ship Shoal and Myrtle islands are among the most difficult for animals to migrate to.
A long-term increase in islands occupied by Raccoons has paralleled a decrease in islands with bird colonies
