Me and my NR friends went to the Red Rocks park on Sunday around 3 pm. The weather the previous week had been slightly warmer than usual and most of the snow in the woods had melted which made tracking anything a bit difficult. During our little hike, we saw lots of grey squirrels which I didn’t think was that interesting but they were the only animals we actually saw.
Continuing through the woods, we saw many trees with what looked like holes drilled into them. Thinking about it more we realized it was the work of a woodpecker.
Although it was hard to find because it kind of blended in with the dirt, we found some deer scat! We figured out it was a deer because of the small round shape. The INaturalist app was helpful in identifying tree species, but not so much animals. We mainly used our scat and track guide.
