Last Saturday we got about a foot of snow and it has stayed below freezing all week so I assumed I would find plenty of well-preserved tracks, but I was wrong. While there were plenty of tracks, most of them have melted and aren&#8217;t easily identifiable. I didn&#8217;t let that deter me and with the help of the tracking sheet and iNaturalist I was able to identify a few good sets of tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1287-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1287-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1287-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1287-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1287-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1287-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1287-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1291-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1291-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1291-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1291-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1291-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1291-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/rarmas\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_1291-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe these first two sets of tracks are both White-Tailed Deer.

They are clear enough to get a general outline but not detailed enough to easily identify. Due to the track pattern, I believe this animal to be a galloper. I remember seeing almost identical tracks at Jericho, and I identified those to be field mouse tracks, so I believe that these are also field mouse tracks. They have the right patter and length though the tracks were not detailed enough for me to get a good look. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this phenology assignment, I spent about two hours walking around Centennial Woods looking for tracks.
