Lots of tracks today in Centennial Woods! I took my usual walk along the trail and found lots of evidence of wildlife out and about. First, I observed some birds. There was a flock of American Robins with one European Starling hiding in their midst. I also saw a flock of American Crows and heard a woodpecker.
The fresh snow provided some great tracks today. I saw countless Gray Squirrel and chipmunk prints along the trail. I also saw some hare prints and some mouse tracks.

The most interesting tracks I found were right along the brook. They had five toes and were about 2-3 inches long. The toes were long and straight, and there was a raised space in the middle of the toe pad. I’m not entirely sure what these were. They are likely from an otter, although the brook doesn’t seem like enough water for an otter. There also could have been multiple sets of tracks in this one space, since some were longer (like a raccoon or porcupine) and some were some were rounder (like woodchuck or a fisher).
