Greater Burlington Area

I went to Redstone Campus and checked out the eastern white pine area. I tried to find fresh enough tracks to identify. Instead, I found a hole in a log or some brush. Since the snow at the entrance had been trampled, it looked like a den with some activity coming in and out.

Using the iNaturalist app was easy and interesting where people were also what they’ve discovered in the area.

The tracks leading out from the den were all over the place, but I was able to identify some larger and smaller prints. Since some were larger than others, they could have big hind feet and small fronts. The animal was definitely small from the print sizes. Due to the big hind feet, I guess this is either a squirrel or a rabbit.
