Which infers that Queens is an island. Technically you are correct, however, Queens is a borough of New York City. I was born in Brooklyn and lived in Queens until my family and I escaped. To say that Queens is on an island makes it appear like an isolated borough like Staten Island.
Whatever. Staten Island is an island. Manhattan is an island. Queens is ON an island. If you want to explain what you were thinking, fine. But don’t try to make me out as being wrong when I said Queens is on an island. Point is coyotes would have to take bridges or tunnels to get to Queens; they’re not likely to be passing through to somewhere else.
