We (formerly Nashaway Trackers) are a group of loosely connected nature lovers who enjoy sharing our observations and discoveries about the fauna and flora of the northeastern US. Most of us are especially interested in mammal tracks and sign, but we also post about birds, insects, plants, etc.

Poops..I did it again...
We found this dropping while visiting Utah last week. Any idea who deposited it? (The foot in the photo belongs to my 15 year old daughter)
Donna posed the question, with what I thought might be a hint (:0))))), and I was just trying to gather the relevant information. Geez, Susan, don't you know anything about the scientific process?
Yup... between 500 and 700 head of 'em on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Easily visible along with pronghorn antelope, coyote and mule deer. Nice job!

I don't know, but it's most impressive. More of a downpour than a dropping, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteAny dinosaurs out that way, Donna?
ReplyDeleteBefore we dive into the books, is there anything you can tell us about the diet of your 15 year old daughter?
ReplyDeleteWay too personal, Janet.

DeleteNo dinosaurs that we saw...and the information about my daughter was meant only to help with scale.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna.
DeleteJanet: Nanny, nanny.

ReplyDelete"Poops or no poops, looks like an old-fashioned cowpie to me. Any bison around there?"

ReplyDeleteVery cool! And now that we've seen the poop, how about posting some pix of the various critters, Donna?
ReplyDeleteLoose moose or MAYBE even elk, if they're eating succulent enough stuff? Or bison or...or....not sure what else!
