I went tracking on Saturday, February 17th. I went to Rock Point. There was snow on the ground, and I walked all the way from the community gardens to the fault line. The majority of the tracks I saw were parallel to the trail, and looked like they could be dog tracks, so I did not photograph them. Once the trail narrowed, I saw a print that was particularly clear and decided to take a picture of it. At the time, I assumed it was a dog track, but looking back, the track was about two inches, which meant that it was the same size as a fox track. It still could very well be a track from a small dog though; I am having trouble determining which. Since there is a big paw pad, I would guess it is either a red fox or a small dog.
The next track I saw was much less clear in terms of the shape. There was obviously a bounding pattern, though, and the tracks are about two and a quarter inches long. Also, it appeared to be direct registering. Based on the size and bounding pattern, my guess is that this creature is a grey squirrel. In the second photo, you can see the imprint of a tail. If it is a squirrel tail, then the imprint is just of the base of the tail.
I decided to wait to upload my observations to iNaturalist until I was working on the blog post. This was not my best idea, as I was not able to complete the blog post until the iNaturalist group was no longer accepting submissions.
