"This paper reports on a 1992 survey of the terrestrial mammals of Isle au Haut. Six traplines were run, and trails, streams, and gravel roads were searched for mammal sign. This paper is the first written documentation of the eastern coyote (Canis latrans) on Isle au Haut. It reports the new discovery of the red-backed vole (Clethrionomys gapperi) on Isle au Haut, and reviews its presence on other islands in Penobscot Bay. Most mammals previously seen on Isle au Haut were detected with the exception of the river otter (Lutra canadensis) and muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus). The deer tick (Ixodes dammini) was found on three deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus on the eastern side of the island."
