I went to my original phenology spot in Centennial Woods to gather photos for my phenology blog. After the weather calmed down, I visited the spot yesterday to look for tracks. I noticed a lot of activity with squirrels and several birds. Upon arriving at the entrance, I immediately found deer tracks that seemed fresh or a few days old. I placed my “Rite in the Rain” book for measurement next to the tracks and tried to get the best picture without having the book slide down the hill I was on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While walking down further, I discovered a raccoon print and measured it using my yellow book. I also found the prints of either a red or grey fox, and after referencing my “Mammal Tracks and Scat” pocket guide, I could identify it as a red fox since the grey fox rarely has claws, according to the book. Additionally, I identified the prints of a grey squirrel using my “Mammal Tracks and Scat” pocket guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although my phone was on its last leg of battery life, I still captured all of these tracks using my regular phone camera. I couldn’t use Inaturalist to snap any photos, but all of these photos will be posted on my blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
