My Blog

I suppose that this is really a blog, though I hesitate to call it that. The real bloggers seem so much more interesting. I cover stuff which I find interesting, and I hope that you will too.

Topic: Pond Wild Animal Tracks
28 Dec 2002

On 27th December, my daughter and I went to a class Holed Up for Winter at Mass Audobon at Broadmoor. We spent most of the class looking for tracks in the new snow. We ended up finding White tailed deer, Coyote, Squirrels, some type of mouse, domestic cat, and people tracks.

When we got home, we had to go and explore outside. Somehow tracks are much more difficult to identify when the expert is not around! We did identify squirrels -- in particular they were digging holes in the snow and then soil underneath to find their food stores. We also found where a bird (possibly a hawk) had caught a mouse. There were many other tracks not identified!
