Where is the spot?
While exploring this area, there were many different animal tracks that we observed. Animals such as mice and beavers hold habitat in this environment. When capturing photos using the iNaturalist app, the program helped us identify species we were not sure of. Below displays the multiple species and woody elements we observed.
The easiest identifiable species in these pictures includes the mouse tracks running towards the den in the tree trunk. Additionally, the tree that has been fed on by a beaver was an exciting observation to come across. However, some tracks were harder to identify due to snow overlay as well as resemblance to multiple species.
This area was more open than my phenology spot in Centennial Woods. Beavers, raccoons, and other mid-sized mammal tracks were easier to be seen in the Burlington spot. In Centennial Woods, birds, squirrels, and smaller mammals are spotted instead.
