This week instead of visiting the Beaver Bridge I stomped around in Centennial Woods looking for signs of wildlife. We haven’t had snow in a while and it’s been warm so my friend and I went looking for mud. When we got to Centennial there was no shortage of mud or ice and of course your girl was unprepared. I definitely recommend hiking boots of winter boots if you are going to go to Centennial right now. The extra traction and water proofing is necessary. While walking around in the reeds my friend and I were able to find deer and possible fox tracks which we uploaded to iNaturalist. Within minutes I had strangers suggesting identifications of the tracks and pictures I uploaded which was cool. I had no idea the community was so enthusiastic about wildlife signs. The deer tracks we found we really easy to identify because they were perfectly preserved in the ice. However, the fox tracks were a bit harder to nail down. There is a good chance they were dog tracks because the movement was a bit erratic and there were human prints around, but then around the nails were straight which suggests a fox.
