Welcome back to Salmon Hole! This past visit was particularly fun, since I got to do some tracking and saw some great avian wildlife! The species of the day was the ruby-crowned kinglet, a unique looking bird with a blazing crest on its head- this was the first I’d ever seen of this species both in Salmon Hole and ever.
Tracks-
There were an abundance of tracks along the river during my visit- because it had rained, the tracks were preserved in the ground. I saw a variety of species ranging from salamanders to turkeys- here is a comprehensive list of all species I believe were active in the area after viewing their tracks and presence in Salmon Hole–
Bobcat, Turkey, Raccoon, Muskrat, Coyotes, Spotted Salamander, Wood Duck, Cormorant, Seagull, Canada goose, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, Common Sparrow, Goldfinch, Grey Squirrel, American Robin, Junco
