Tracks

With two vole tracks to right. The JM tracks show a stronger front-hind disparity than the vole, and these were the only set of tracks in a tight bounding group in this mud patch.

Two olives making tracks.

Tracks seen at the Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area while teaching a tracking workshop to Texas Parks and Wildlife Biologists. First county record as far as we know.

on secured dumpster, SFSC Sierra Nevada Field Campus; my hand span is 7"

Harassed by two American Crows while flying over Union Bay. Viewed from southwest section of trail starting from UW Center for Urban Horticulture.

Width of metatarsal pad is greater than 50mm, so likely a male

Right front (1st photo) and left front

From left to right across top: 2 humeri, 1 femur, 2 tibia. Rib below.

Juv

1000th Observation 🎉
One of the best species of all time

Predation by sharp-shinned hawk. Witnessed. Major wing feathers plucked, contour feathers fell in puffs, and the hawk flew off with the body.

Bear in an oak tree. Probably dispersing young male from Sonoma County. Found bear scat on a trail in Olema Valley back in April.

A case could be made for Barred Owl at this location, but it would be on the extreme large end of the track length. GHO seems more likely.

Tracks from one of the “Sikik” (Arctic Ground Squirrel) living in the riprap along the beach in Nome.

Last fall's scat composed entirely of tough fibers. Cambium feeding sign?
Other Bear sign abundant in immediate area including much fresher, more typical scats.

I saw these red fox pups at a den along the railroad tracks in the Shinnecock Hills Preserve.

Walking

Scat on mound, tail drag through middle, front and hind tracks on the left. There were 4 of these mounds along the riverbank at 15-20 yard intervals.
