Spring Semester Phenology Post #2 – iNaturalist

Cedar (I think Cedar, could be hemlock) tree cluster near Redstone Green area

I walk by these trees every day, and every time it snows, some tracks go to and from these trees and around this area. At first, I thought these were human steps walking through the snow. However, they are much too narrow to be human tracks. Also, if it were a human, there would be a lot more snow dragged along with each step. This leads me to believe these tracks are likely rabbit tracks or some other bounder.

The only confusing aspect of these tracks is that each bound seems to be somewhat offset. Rabbits are typically bound in a linear pattern. Regardless, I still think they are rabbit tracks. Perhaps the rabbit was drunk and struggling to walk straight.

Thanks for reading my blog,

Until next time,

Eric
