In my exploration of the winter wildlife in Burlington, I explored the woods area behind the Redstone campus which backs up the Burlington Country Club. During my observations, I encountered numerous tracks that indicated lots of wildlife activity. As I ventured out into the woods I came across grey squirrel tracks, dog prints, and deer tracks. The process of narrowing down the identification of the tracks was difficult but I observed the patterns. I observed that the deer tracks were those of a diagonal walker and assessed the size of the print. Since the track was about 2-3 inches, I concluded it was not a moose track and in fact a deer track. In regards to the dog print, I observed the depth of the middle of the print and considered how it made more of a U shape. Since bobcats’ prints show more of an X shape, I concluded it was a dog print. As for the grey squirrel print, I observed the size of the hind prints which were about 2 inches. This indicated that it was a grey squirrel and not a red squirrel. Through this investigation of the Burlington wildlife, I am left with a broader understanding of the habitat our campus provides for the focal mammal species that roam.
