On Sunday February 20th, I walked to Centennial woods in hopes of finding signs of wildlife. As I entered the woods, my eyes were drawn to the abundance of tracks in the snow. Because the snow cover was thin and fluffy, the tracks were very detailed. This made it more interesting than my experience at Jericho research forest which happened to have almost a foot of snow. I could clearly see how many claws each animal had, and other details of each print. After analyzing the prints, I found that the majority consisted of Grey squirrel. There was however, a track that I thought to be a cottontail rabbit. Overall I was enthused to be walking around in nature while searching for tracks. Later on on the walk, I managed to capture a video of a grey squirrel in the distance.
My experience using the inaturalist app was positive. I uploaded some photos of the tracks, a paper birch, and a blurry photo of a grey squirrel running through the woods.
