This report covers island fox recovery actions conducted by park
staff in calendar year 2010. The recovery actions, which included
island fox population and mortality monitoring, were conducted
under U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Recovery Permit TE86267-0,
which has separate reporting requirements (Coonan 2011). This
report presents the results of our efforts in 2010 to capture and
monitor island fox populations on San Miguel and Santa Rosa Island
via small trapping grids and transects, and to track annual
survival and mortality causes via radiotelemetry. The purpose of
the monitoring was to: * assess condition of individual foxes; *
replace radiocollars or affix new radiocollars as required; *
establish a "sentinel" group of unvaccinated, radiocollared
animals; * vaccinate foxes against canine distemper virus and
rabies; and * estimate density and islandwide population size
