It is unclear, however, if these pre-1940s reports are valid (see below). Nonetheless, following the initial entry into New York from Quebec or Ontario over the St. Lawrence River, Coyotes extended their range east into Vermont, and southwest along the St. Lawrence River towards Lake Ontario. This expansion occurred primarily along the periphery of Adirondack State Park, and in the early 1940s there was reportedly also a Coyote-domestic dog ("coydog") hybrid zone along the northwestern periphery of the Adirondacks (Fener 2001; see also Severinghaus 1974) (Figure 1). By the early 1950s the range had expanded south along the New York/Vermont border and west back into New York State into the Albany area south of the Adirondacks.
