I took a walk down to centennial woods. It was about a half a mile walk from my dorm. It was brisk but not too cold. It was near the evening before sunset. There was a light snowfall on the ground, and I was lucky enough to find some fresh prints. Using iNaturalist I was able to identify a few different animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, on my way there I noticed a pair of tracks that looked like little human hands, my first thought was raccoon and iNaturalist was able to confirm this. There have been a few raccoons around and near campus, so I was not surprised. These footprints were pretty big, about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. The waddling pattern of the walk also indicated that a raccoon may have been there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After, I kept walking further into Centennial. This is where I found another set of prints. I immediately saw claws and four toes. The size of the foot was definitely a bigger hint than anything else. The print size was about 1 inch by 1.5 inches. In the tracks and scat book I figure it was a gray squirrel footprint although I\u2019m not entirely sure because it could be a red squirrel or a chipmunk maybe. What was most interesting was when I was walking back to my dorm a huge Raven flew out near the roof of my building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
