Tracking Wildlife in Ithaca

A fun way to track animals is actually look at their tracks and that's where the field guides can come in handy because I can show you, okay, was this a fox or is this a coyote, et cetera. There are things like shoes, there's scat, rubs, the dens and nests that these animals create. You might find evidence of bones or feathers or hair. The otters that I've been watching have left some beautiful slides down this slope near where they live. And that's a fun different kind of a track that we don't often get to see because they're not the animal.
