While walking through the cross country ski trails, me and some of my lab partners had found multiple pairs of tracks in the deep snow. We believe for them to be either shrew or vole tracks, because of the size, speed and direction of travel. We had also found a Pileated Woodpecker, chipping away at a tree and making calls to another close by, sadly we couldn&#8217;t find any tracks in the snow of the Pileated, but it was enjoyable to watch. In the case of INaturalist, while I have previously used it before, I believe that every experience I&#8217;ve had with the app has been smooth and clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-a50603d2 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"51\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4456-2-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4456-2-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4456-2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4456-2-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4456-2-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4456-2-1568x2091.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4456-2-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tracks through the snow at Intervale ! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-container-content-b9c76010\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-1152x2048.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-1568x2788.jpeg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/zguida-phenologyproject\/files\/2025\/02\/IMG_4451-scaled.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pileated Woodpecker right off of the Cross Country Ski trails ! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-grayscale-graybase-color has-silver-lighter-50-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1648b36d25abb0f4982f2f755990208c\">We saw around 3-4 pairs of these tracks dragging through the snow and from our narrative, we believe it could&#8217;ve been a little pack, or family of shrews running through the fresh snow, and diving into a pack of old junkyard farm machines. We figured this is where they take cover in the Winter, since it protects from wind and predators in the sky. We narrowed our identification by recalling from previous tracks we had seen on lab, and with some help from Professor Walt we had figured out it was a shrew. We chose these tracks over all the other ones we think we had found, because they were the clearest and easiest to define, also nobody else had found them before we had, so they were original findings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my search wildlife and tracking, I had found the best pair of clear tracks during our lab at Intervale.
