Hi Blog! Today I went to the Waterman Green to have a bit of a change in scenery, not too far I know but it’s all I had time for this weekend. But you’d be surprised at how many tracks and species I saw while walking along the green, or should I even say green because it was completely covered in a foot of snow, I have snow in my boots to prove it!
I really liked the change of scenery, and it felt much different being in a more publicly used space. The tracks we found we mostly squirrel tracks running between the many trees around but we found one that we could tell was not a squirrel but could not figure out what it was instead.
We tried to problem solve by thinking what could be walking on the waterman green and came to the conclusion that it was most likely just a little kid walking on the snow, or a small dog 🙂 These tracks had been snowed over a bit so you could not see if there were footpads or bootprints. The squirrel identification was more simple due to the fact that we have seen many squirrels before on the green and their patterns of running from tree to tree are easily identifiable.
This last picture is just a funny one of my friend Erin who had just fallen in the snow due to us having to walk over a big snowbank, we had a lot of fun frolicking around following the tracks and their patterns!
