Today, on February 4, 2019, I visited my Salmon Hole Phenology place for the first time since December. This was the warmest day we have seen in weeks, reaching temperatures of high 40’s, and the wildlife certainly seemed to be enjoying it!
All throughout my spot were these large galloper’s tracks which I have inferred is most likely a rabbit on the larger side. These tracks have a straddle of about 3 inches and a stride of about 7 or 8 inches. It was difficult to analyze these prints because of the snow melt due to the thaw.
More tracks were found on my way out of the site, these seemed to belong to a raccoon or a beaver who had come out to enjoy the warmer temperatures.
